Podcasts
can be either audio or video digital recordings that are downloaded over
the Internet for playback on PCs or portable media players such as iPods
or MP3 players.
So why do you need a podcast transcription if you have the audio?
The content of
audio recordings on the Internet is not readily searchable and,
therefore, classified by the search engines. This renders your podcast
almost invisible.
We can provide a
transcript of excerpts or a full transcript which can be uploaded to the
Internet alongside the audio recording. The transcript will show up in
the search engine results like any other document or website, as well as
being available to a more disadvantaged audience. The sound files can
help the visually impaired while subtitles or a full transcript can be
very helpful to the hearing impaired.
Also, some people prefer to read
content because it's quicker than listening to an audio file.
ALL RECORDINGS
are listened to a second time and time stamped at inaudible points in
transcriptions, Internet research is carried out to identify names or
terminology, and all transcripts are proofread before being sent to
clients. There is no extra charge for this service. Not all
transcription companies do this - some don't even proofread so make sure
you ask the right questions before choosing a service.
