Transcript
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.
Carina:Okay. Yeah, interesting.
Carina:Good topic for some of our incoming episodes.
Martin:Very good.
Carina:Thank you for today, Martin.
Martin:Thank you Carina.
Carina:Have a nice week.
Martin:You too.
Martin:Talk to you soon again.
