Podcasts have become an excellent way for business professionals to share knowledge, give value to clients and also to build a following for their products or services. But what many podcast users don’t realize is that the information they’ve created in an audio format can also be re-purposed into another effective shareable forms like blog posts and white papers. Here are two tools many marketers and podcasters agree get the job done:
Speechpad: Touted as “Simply the Best Human-Generated Captions and Transcriptions. Delivered on Time, Every Time,” Speechpad charges $1.00-$4.00 per minute to transcribe your information using a pool of over 5K transcribers who work around the clock. Speechpad’s services include basic transcription and also “add-on” options like time-stamping and advanced captioning, with a 24 or 48 hour turn-around (part of Premium offerings).
Scribie: Scribie is a developed system which manages the process end-to-end and delivers high quality transcripts. The transcription work is done by freelance home-based transcribers and managed completely via the Internet. Scribie’s pricing structure includes a “flexible” week or month rate. If you are in no hurry and can live with getting it back in less than 30 days, it’s $.80 per minute. If you need it in a week or less, it’s $1.00 per minute. If you are really in a hurry, they have express rates as high as $3.00. They even include a unique quote calculator to help users get a better idea of the cost of transcribing their project.
