Why you should transcribe a podcast

Repurpose Content

A transcript of a podcast can be used for many purposes, including blog posts, social media snippets, newsletters, or even eBooks. This helps reach audiences across multiple platforms.

Improve Podcast Accessibility

People have different learning preferences — some absorb information best through reading, while others prefer listening. A transcript allows you to cater to both groups, making the podcast more inclusive.

Simplify Making Show Notes and Summaries

Having a transcript makes it easy to pull out key moments, create highlight reels, and structure compelling episode descriptions. Likewise, if you’re summarizing a podcast for a review, newsletter, or article, having a transcript makes it much easier to extract key insights quickly without replaying the episode multiple times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to your questions about Podcast Transcription

What is podcast transcription?

Podcast transcription is the process of converting spoken audio from a podcast into a written text format. This allows the content to be searchable, readable, and accessible to a wider audience.

How long does it take to transcribe a podcast episode?

Turnaround time depends on the length of the episode. Typically transcriptions are complete in less than 20 minutes.

What format will I receive my transcript in?

We will present the transcription to you in text on a web page, which can be copy and pasted to use for anything you like. We are currently working on providing an SRT option to use for subtitles.

How accurate are podcast transcriptions?

PodPear utilises AI to generate the transcripts automatically. This typically results in transcripts that are around 90% accurate. Accuracy is also affected by audio quality, speaker clarity, and background noise.

Can I transcribe someone else's podcast?

Yes, as long as you comply with copyright laws. Transcribing for personal use, research, or summaries is usually fine, but publishing full transcripts of someone else's content may require permission.

Do you transcribe podcasts in other languages?

Currently we only transcribe the podcast into the language that it is spoken in, we do not provide any automated translations.
