Podcasts were initially used to allow people to distribute their own content or Audio Transcription Sydney style shows to a wider audience. The clarity of a

podcast digital recording has been ideal for a variety of media, such as school lessons, Audio Transcription Brisbane, oral history interviews, Legal

Transcription Brisbane, magazines, political broadcasts, sermons, TV commentary, newspapers and even health guides.

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,

indexed and classified by the search engines. This renders your podcast almost invisible unless you spend time advertising it or loading the show notes with

relevant keywords. Increasingly, podcasters are providing a transcript of either excerpts to be included in the show notes, or a full transcript of the

podcast, which can be uploaded to the Internet alongside the audio recording. The clarity of a podcast digital recording has been prefect for a variety of media, for example, school lessons, Audio Transcription Brisbane, verbal history interviews, Legal Transcription Brisbane, magazines, political broadcasts, sermons, TV commentary, newspapers and even health guides or more

It could be argued that a podcast is already in an accessible format and why add to the reams of written material already on the Internet? Some people say it

defeats the object of listening to a podcast and takes away the impact of the atmosphere and style of the voices. That’s true, up to a point – unless you

happen to be deaf, or with even slightly impaired hearing. In the same way that a whole sound file recordings industry has been created for those with sight

problems, (talking books being the most obvious example), transcripts or closed captions / subtitles can make podcasts available to a more disadvantaged

audience. If you can’t hear clearly, then your only option is to read – and podcasters should be conscious of this.it would be inaccessible to a lot of

people without this additional written resource.
