Descript has an “Automatic and human-powered transcription with industry-leading accuracy and powerful collaboration tools.” So, if you want to try something that won’t cost a lot. Give them a try.
We may just get the Sonic Speaks interviews out in text form that way!
Caroline Mincks provides a reasoned argument as to why it’s important to provide more opportunity and engagement in your audio podcast by providing transcripts in this article in Sounds Profitable.
Consider this bit of wisdom from the article:
“….the numbers were still staggering: out of 372 responses to the poll, 74.5% said that yes, they had avoided a show because of a lack of accommodations. That is 277 people – an overwhelming majority. 277 potential audience members. 277 people who could consume, rate, and review your podcast. 277 people who could share it with friends, family, and colleagues and grow your base (and, by extension, your earnings) exponentially.“
Take some time, and take note of some great ways to provide more opportunity to your listeners!
In this short talk, Caroline explores their history as a deaf creator of a fiction podcast that represents deafness. They clear up misconceptions about Deafness and the critical importance of its inclusion in how you approach your audio work. Check out the Transcript
