Why transcribe a podcast?

A written transcript gives readers another way to access and use an episode. It can support:

• Website publication and accessibility
• Searchable episode content
• Show notes and editorial research
• Quotations and press material
• Internal archives and repurposing content

Podcast formats

We can transcribe presenter-led episodes, one-to-one interviews, panel discussions, remote recordings, video podcasts, multi-episode series, webinars and archived recordings. The available recording quality affects what can be transcribed reliably.

Clean verbatim

Removes unnecessary fillers and false starts while preserving meaning. This can be a readable option for publication; agree how closely the wording should follow the recording.

Strict verbatim

Retains fillers, repetitions and false starts where closer analysis of speech or a fuller record is required.

Edited transcript

Produces a more polished written version. Agree the permitted editing before work begins, especially where quotations will be published.

Optional features

Specify any extras when requesting your quote:

• Named or numbered speakers
• Timestamps
• Episode titles and headings
• Client-supplied links and spelling lists
• Client templates
• Markers for unclear words
• Additional proofreading where agreed

What we need for a quote

Provide the recording or a representative sample, total duration, number of speakers, required return date, transcription style, timestamps, formatting instructions and any specialist names or terminology. Pricing depends on the specification; the quote confirms the service and timescale.

Publishing the transcript

Check that you have the necessary rights or permission to supply the recording and publish the transcript. Review names, links, quotations and any sensitive passages before publication.
