OVERVIEW
Transcription and show notes services built for podcast SEO and content discovery
When your podcast episode has 45 minutes of golden content but zero searchable text, Google and Perplexity can’t index it, listeners can’t find the exact moment they’re looking for, and hearing-impaired audiences are excluded entirely. Our transcription and show notes services help podcast networks, media companies, broadcasters, and educational content creators turn audio into discoverable text assets across 11+ languages.
Every transcript is produced with speaker identification, precise timecodes, and searchable formatting. Show notes structured with chapter markers, key quotes, mentioned resources, and SEO-optimized summaries. Multi-language versions available in parallel — same team from source audio to every target language and format.
Transcripts and show notes aren’t just accessibility — they’re SEO. Podcast search increasingly happens on Google, YouTube, and AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity that extract answers from indexed text. Our transcription and show notes services deliver content structured for search discovery, FAQ schema markup for rich results, and AI-optimized formatting for answer engine visibility.
Whether you need a single episode transcript, weekly ongoing production, or full podcast catalogue transcription and show notes rewrite — our transcription and show notes services scale to any project size. Per-minute pricing for standard episodes, project-based pricing for catalogue projects, and framework agreements for ongoing weekly content pipelines with 24-72 hour turnaround.
EDUCATIONAL
How professional transcription and show notes actually get produced
Transcription isn’t just “listen and type.” It’s structured content creation with SEO, accessibility, and discoverability built in. Here’s how our transcription and show notes services move your audio from raw file to searchable, discoverable text assets.
01
Audio Upload & Language Setup
You upload your audio via secure file transfer (any format — MP3, WAV, AAC, M4A, video files). Language identification, speaker count, subject-matter identification, and turnaround timeline confirmed. Rush processing available for time-critical content.
02
Automated First Pass Transcription
AI-assisted first-pass transcription creates initial text draft with rough timecodes. This provides speed but requires human review for accuracy, speaker identification, and subject-matter terminology. Never delivered as final output.
03
Human Editing & Speaker ID
Human transcriptionists review, edit, and correct the AI draft. Speaker names identified and labeled, precise timecodes verified per line, subject-matter terminology confirmed, and audio quality issues resolved. This is where accuracy happens.
04
Show Notes & SEO Structuring
Show notes writers create SEO-optimized episode summaries, chapter markers, key quote highlights, mentioned resources with links, and searchable descriptions. Structured with FAQ schema markup for Google rich results and AI answer engine extraction.
05
Multi-Format Delivery
Delivered in every format you need — clean transcript (DOCX, PDF), timestamped transcript (SRT, VTT for captions), plain text for CMS upload, show notes formatted for your platform (Spotify, Apple, Substack, WordPress), and multilingual versions if required.

FAQ
Transcription and show notes frequently asked questions
Everything podcast producers, content teams, and media managers need to know about our transcription and show notes services.
What are transcription and show notes services?
Transcription and show notes services convert audio content into accurate text — verbatim or clean transcripts, timestamped captions, SEO-optimized episode summaries, chapter markers, and multilingual text assets. Delivered with 99% accuracy through AI-assisted processing plus human editing by subject-matter linguists.
How accurate are your transcripts?
99% accuracy through human-edited processing. AI-only tools deliver 80-90% accuracy with frequent errors on names, technical terms, and industry-specific vocabulary. Our transcription and show notes services combine AI speed with human accuracy — every transcript verified by trained transcriptionists.
Do you offer verbatim or clean transcription?
Both. Verbatim transcription captures every word including “um,” “uh,” and filler words — ideal for legal, research, and journalistic content. Clean transcription removes filler words and polishes grammar while preserving speaker voice — ideal for podcast show notes and published transcripts.
How do you handle multiple speakers?
Speaker identification is standard. Speakers are named and labeled (Host: [name], Guest: [name]) with clear speaker changes and timecodes. For unnamed speakers, we use consistent labeling (Speaker 1, Speaker 2). Contextual identification for interview-heavy content and panel discussions.
What file formats do you deliver?
Every format you need — clean transcript (DOCX, PDF), timestamped transcript (SRT, VTT, TTML for captions/subtitles), plain text (TXT for CMS upload), show notes formatted per platform (Spotify, Apple, Substack, WordPress), and JSON for developer integrations. Custom formats on request.
Do you write SEO-optimized show notes?
Yes — SEO show notes are a specialty. Episode summaries structured for Google search, keyword-optimized descriptions, meta descriptions per platform, chapter markers with SEO benefits, and FAQ schema markup for Google rich results. Optimized for AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity.
Can you transcribe multiple languages?
Yes — 11+ core languages including English, Russian, German, French, Estonian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Polish, Finnish, Swedish, and Norwegian. Plus 20+ additional languages on request. Multilingual transcription includes both source-language transcript AND translated versions for global content distribution.
How long does transcription take?
Standard 60-minute audio delivers in 24-72 hours. Rush service (12-24 hours) available for time-critical content. Weekly ongoing podcast production gets pre-scheduled turnaround for consistent delivery. Full catalogue backfill projects (100+ hours) run 2-6 weeks with parallel processing.
Do you handle chapter markers for Spotify and Apple?
Yes — chapter markers with timestamps compatible with Spotify Podcast Chapters, Apple Podcasts, and podcast host platforms. Includes chapter titles, timecodes, and optional chapter images. Improves listener discovery within episodes and provides jump-to-topic navigation.
What's the difference between AI transcription and your service?
AI tools transcribe fast but with 80-90% accuracy — frequent errors on names, technical terms, brand names, and industry vocabulary. Our transcription and show notes services combine AI first-pass speed with human editing for 99% accuracy, plus subject-matter expertise, speaker identification, SEO show notes, and multi-format delivery.
