Podcast Transcripts
for Accessibility
Over 1.5 billion people have some degree of hearing loss. For them, a podcast without a transcript is simply inaccessible. Podtyper fixes that.
Why use Podtyper for accessibility
Reach deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences
Transcripts make your podcast accessible to anyone who cannot hear the audio. Publish one alongside every episode.
Export captions for video
Export as SRT for YouTube and Vimeo, or VTT for web video. Timestamped captions sync with the audio.
Support non-native speakers
Transcripts help listeners who read English better than they hear it. This is a larger audience than most people realize.
Improve SEO and accessibility at once
Google indexes text, not audio. Publishing transcripts helps with both accessibility and search discoverability.
