Do you offer transcripts of your podcast?

by Angelo

If yes, how do you produce them and how much do you spend?

If not, why?

    Yes. I use Descript's machine transcription and edit the transcription errors by hand while editing the audio. The number of errors can vary widely based on the guest's accent and mic quality.

      Thanks for your answer! Could you tell me a bit more? Are you happy in general with it?

        It converts your audio to a transcript using google's speech to text. However, there are errors in the transcript (wrong word chosen, incorrect punctuation).

        I wish the accuracy was higher, but I would expect it to get better in the future.

    Have you checked out Descript? They have a really great product that also allows you to edit your podcast directly. You can do a ton for free, but if you want to download the transcripts, it's $10/month.
