Adding Episode Transcripts

Transcripts provide a written-word alternative to your episode audio. These help more people to enjoy your podcast, such as hearing-impaired users or non-native speakers. They also provide a text-searchable resource that allow listeners (or search engines) new ways to find your content.

Transcripts are visible on the Audioboom episode page -

and we'll also include them in your RSS feed in the <podcast:transcript> tag. Apple Podcasts will automatically use these transcripts where available in iOS 17.4.

You can upload a transcript file when uploading a new episode to Audioboom, or later on the episode's Edit page.

We currently support transcripts in either WebVTT (.vtt), SubRip (.srt), or plain-text format. You can generate these using a Speech-to-Text service or app such as Descript.
