Reasons why podcast transcription is so essential
This had to be written after I got the opinion that there are some podcasters who do not understand the importance of podcast transcription citing that the listeners are only supposed to listen to the material and not read it. Some go ahead to say that the conversations put up in the description boxes are normally enough for a person to know what the podcasts are all about. This can be disputed especially when you think about the people who cannot hear either because they are handicapped or for various other reasons. If you do not look out for them, it could mean that you are losing out on an important audience and users.
If you have podcasts on the topics of lifestyle and health there could be someone who is deaf who would like to know more about what has been discussed. There are some people who are really busy and would prefer to read the e-books rather than listen to the podcast in a quite place at their own time. If you don’t have this option, it means that you will be locking out some people who are interested in your work. This could also mean that you are losing out to your competition in a huge way through some of the ways that are discussed below;
1. SEO- at this point I am sure tat everyone knows about Search Engine Optimization. It is important to note that they are deaf. Transcribing the podcast helps it to be recognized by the search engines thus increasing traffic to the site tremendously.
2. Reaching many people and helping them- having the podcast transcribed means that more people will be able to access it and it will also be expanding the ways that people make use of the content you made. This is especially for the people who cannot keep up with the speed of the podcast especially if English is not their first language.
3. Ease of use- there are some people who do not have the time to sit around and listen to the podcasts ad would rather read them on their own free time. People can access the transcribed material on different mediums like smart phones when they are on the move so that they don’t have to waste time they don’t have.
This is usually about providing many options that people like so that they can choose the one they are most comfortable with. More on podcast transcription.
