Podcast Transcription is
a transcription service that rides on the podcast wave ,currently
sweeping the world.
As we know, Podcasting is the web-based DIY radio broadcasting
technology that has had a fantastic take off and is already
touted to be the next big thing after weblogs. Anyone with
an internet-enabled computer and a sound recording device
can become a podcaster. Once your podcast is posted and is
subscribed by users, it will be downloaded to the user’s
iPods or other portable media players.
Podcasting is no longer a fringe phenomenon. It has transformed
into a huge business opportunity that is yet to be fully exploited.
With large investments flowing into podcast shows and companies
offering thousands of dollars per month for ad slots, every
podcaster must become serious about getting a share out of
the podcasting pie.
This is exactly where a podcast transcription service will
come to your service. Here are some reasons why podcasting
without transcriptions is truly an exercise in futility…
•
Search engines like Google, Yahoo etc. are incapable of indexing
audio/video content. Their use of keyword analysis and tag
based backlink analysis to index and rank pages is ineffective
for podcasts. Although there are podcast specific search engines
too, they make use of speech recognition software that is
prone to inaccuracies. Also, they enjoy lesser acceptability
than general purpose search engines. Transcriptioning of podcasts
is the most widely accepted methodology to get your podcast
indexed by major search engines, as acknowledged by prominent
search engine optimization gurus as well as renowned podcasting
consultants.
•
There is a definite accent barrier that prevents people with
non-English background from understanding the podcast correctly.
And such people can be, economically as well as numerically,
a formidable part of the your target audience. English movie
DVDs are mostly sold with Same Language Subtitling(SLS) in
countries of Asia. Likewise, you may include the transcript
of your podcast along with the audio content. It is a small
price to pay to get an access to huge and booming markets
like Asia.
•
You can get more bang for your buck invested for podcasting
by selling the podcast transcripts as well. If your transcriptions
are for free, you can still carry banner ads and other advertisement
tools with it for reaping additional profits.
•
Transcriptions will be greatly appreciated by interested clients
who are hard of hearing or are hearing impaired. This accounts
for your business’ social responsibility as well as
further expansion of your target audience.
The number of podcasters is increasing
by leaps and bounds. Podcast listeners are mostly in the age
bracket of 18 to 28 years . Used as a marketing tool, podcasting
will help you target this vibrant segment of the market.
 |
The combination of podcast marketing
and podcast transcription is a lethal combination that is
guaranteed to rake in huge profits, as has already been proven.
Marketing professionals now make use of podcasting to promote
their products and services. Such a promotion is not only
cheaper to kick off, but also has a higher ROI as your subscribers
will be those who already have an interest in your podcast
content and have therefore chosen to draw content from your
podcast. Value added podcasts in form of industry-specific
interviews and latest updates of happenings in the industry
will help in creating and maintaining a direct communication
channel with the customer as well as ‘soft sell’
your product or service. Podcast Transcripts will act as reference
material for each of your podcasts .Like advertising in print
media, podcast transcription also has a high shelf life, ensuring
that your podcast marketing efforts continue to provide advertising
exposure even after the podcast has already been listened
to. Also, some people prefer reading content rather than listening.
Your Podcast Transcript will rope in the attention of these
people as well.
Every revolution is preceded by
a lull. This is when the pioneers step in and play their moves.
Likewise, podcasting is a new technology with untold business
opportunities, waiting to be explored. Make use of Podcasting
Transcription services and get the maximum out of this new
cultural phenomenon.
