What is Transcription & Why Do I Need It?
Transcription is, essentially, a written version of your podcast. The transcription should cover every part of your podcast, and include time-stamps, sound effects, and anything else that contributes to the full experience of your show.
To learn more about transcriptions for podcasts, take a look at this article over on the Simplecast blog: https://blog.simplecast.com/transcription/
Best Transcription Services for Podcasters
For a high-quality transcript created by a human, we recommend Rev.com. It's $1 per 1 minute of audio, but you'll get a transcript that require minimal or no editing.
If you don't mind doing a little bit of editing / reworking, check out one of the more automated services like Temi, Trint, or Podium.
