Transcripts have long been promoted as ways to make your podcast more findable and accessible. But it's only recently that podcast transcripts have become actually useful!

Although I didn't plan it this way, the timing of this episode is perfect because I just launched a new feature on Podgagement that automatically transcribes audio feedback from your audience!: https://podgagement.com/

Myth 1: "Transcripts are good for podcast SEO"

Myth 2: "Transcripts make your podcast accessible"

Easy access to artificial intelligence (AI) tools has made creating transcripts a whole lot faster, easier, and cheaper. The editing tools I mentioned all use AI to generate their transcripts, or you could use other services, too:

Castmagic: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/castmagic

Capsho: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/capsho

Auphonic

Buzzsprout's Cohost AI addon: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/buzzsprout

Transistor's AI transcripts feature

Otter

Rev

These use OpenAI's free and open-source Whisper model.

MacWhisper Pro (macOS, free and paid versions)—this is what I used and usually get really good results from: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/macwhisper

Whisper GUI (Windows, free): https://grisk.itch.io/whisper-gui

Run Whisper from the command line (free, but super geeky): https://github.com/openai/whisper
