How to Transcribe Podcast Episodes (Automatically)

Turning your podcast episodes into text can be beneficial for many reasons. If you create a transcription of your podcast, it can be used in show notes, social media content, blog posts, and more. Fortunately, thanks to voice detection technology, you don't have to do this manually yourself! So, if you're looking for an easy way to transcribe podcast episodes, look no further!

How to Transcribe Podcast Episodes in Minutes

Duplikit is the turnkey audio marketing partner for podcasters and other content creators. It's easy to get started with Duplikit's Podcast to Blog service, or use Wavve Transcription which automatically generates a transcription of your podcast episode in minutes! Here's how it works:

Step 1: Upload Your Podcast Audio

In your Wavve account, drag a file from your computer or click on the "upload" link.

the My Transcriptions page on Wavve.co

Step 2: Generate Your Transcript

The upload and transcription process can take a few minutes to process.

Once done, click Edit to open up your text transcript. You will find that your entire episode has been transcribed automatically and is formatted with paragraph breaks and speaker diarisation.

Step 3: Clean Up Your Transcript

While we believe you'll find that our transcription technology is very accurate, it is not perfect. Fortunately, we've built Wavve with some easy tools to help you fix any mistakes in spelling or grammar.

First, we recommend downloading the Grammarly browser extension, which is fully compatible with Wavve. We love this tool and find that it can really speed up the process of finding potential errors and suggesting fixes to spelling and grammar

Another tool we've build right into Wavve is a Find & Replace function, located in the left toolbar. This can be incredibly useful for finding niche-specific words and proper nouns that the transcription did not get quite right. Use this to find these words, and replace them with the proper spelling and capitalization.

Step 4: Format for Your Blog (optional)

If you decide to format your podcast transcription as a blog post, Wavve provides some easy tools to help you do that.

You can insert new paragraphs, write additional sections, add numbered lists, include headline tags, and more! In the left column, you can also quickly insert royalty-free images from Unsplash.com.

Step 5: Export Transcription

Once you're satisfied with your text transcript, click the Export tab in the left column. You'll have the option to simply copy your text to the clipboard, or export as HTML. (Hint: If you are wanting to post your text in a WordPress draft, "Copy to Clipboard" will do the trick!)
