Transcripts
Martin:
Welcome to Presentation Skills Q and A. I am Martin.
Martin:
Linda Scoog or Linda Scoop maybe.
Martin:
Hello Karina.
Carina:
Hello, Martin. Are you Lindy Scoop? What is it?
Carina:
Yes, it's about to speak up loud and clear then yes.
Martin:
And also somebody or someone could understand it and transcribe it.
Martin:
What you are saying today we are talking about text audio.
Carina:
Exactly.
Carina:
We are using transcript in our pod, in this
Carina:
pod.
Carina:
Could you please tell us a little bit more
Carina:
about this? Why transcript?
Martin:
Martin yes, transcript is like a text from the audio.
Martin:
So it's transcribing what you're saying.
Martin:
So then it's generated you could do it
Martin:
manually also to send somebody by doing it by hand.
Martin:
But now it's coming more and more but it automatically done with different services.
Martin:
So with that you could use it for if you're listening to a podcast and the podcast
Martin:
application has transcript as a feature depending on the RSS feed that it's included
Martin:
there, then you could follow along as you are listening to the podcast, you could search for
Martin:
it and it's also generating a transcript on our web page.
Martin:
You could say on Captivate.
Martin:
So there you could also read it and then of
Martin:
course you could search for things and it could be searchable by the search engines.
Martin:
So that's why one or two reasons for why you're using transcript.
Carina:
So your spoken word turns to written material enrollment, it takes a bit of.
Martin:
Moment because it has to process it and to joke again when I say Linda scope in
Martin:
Swedish or Lindoscope in English, American way, it could turn out to Lindoscope because
Martin:
they are not used to that kind of name.
Martin:
Often with transcript service or captioning
Martin:
service also that you have if you have like under text, you could call it like a
Martin:
highlighted text to a video.
Martin:
So on it is often maybe 90, 95, 98% correct,
Martin:
but different like names and words and maybe some expressions or technical jargon could be
Martin:
hard for you could say the motor or the transcriber or translator to understand like
Martin:
machine language.
Martin:
But often it gets better and better.
Carina:
But you're not thinking about the spelling.
Carina:
It's not the spelling that's it the important thing.
Carina:
The important thing is to know where you are in a pod.
Carina:
For example, if you are, for example, interested in some part talking about for
Carina:
example, communication, you can just read the transcript and you know which minute or which
Carina:
part this subject will be spoken of.
Martin:
Correct.
Martin:
And another way to have it also is for
Martin:
accessibility.
Martin:
So if you have maybe a harder time to listen
Martin:
or hearing and you need some aid and then you could follow along with text and I have some
Martin:
thoughts about that, what could happen in the future, but maybe demands that everyone should
Martin:
be able to read the content also together with listening.
Martin:
So that's another thing to have.
Martin:
So we are using as I am editing and doing
Martin:
postproduction when I'm doing it in all it too.
Martin:
And after I should upload the file and I do this feature and then it takes a couple of
Martin:
minutes and then the transcript file is ready to download and then I could then upload it to
Martin:
the hosting that we have.
Martin:
Captivate.
Martin:
So that's how it's showing up there.
Carina:
So it's about to speak up loud and clear for the text material in some way for
Carina:
the transcript.
Carina:
Shall we summarize this?
Carina:
What's a good thing about this transcript thing?
Martin:
Yeah, you could follow along when you're listening reading at the same time it's
Martin:
also search engine optimization that you could be found on the internet and also for
Martin:
accessibility, it's easier to get what you are saying at the same time to listening.
Martin:
So that's pretty good things for with transcript.
Martin:
Again, it's a service, so it's a value at cost to do this.
Martin:
But more and more I think it will be demanded to have it in different formats.
Carina:
Yeah, and I can also say that for me who is sometimes not listening to a whole
Carina:
podcast, a podcast in 1 hour so I can go directly to that part I want to listen.
Martin:
To if I read the transcript for another episode.
Martin:
Also where we could talk about something called chapters, like chapters of a book.
Martin:
So you could have chapters in a podcast episode and then you could illustrate the
Martin:
chapters.
Martin:
So then you could jump to different sections.
Martin:
So there you have one and this you could find in newpodcast apps.
Martin:
Newpodcastapps.com and for example, Pod verse is one that using transcript.
