Tips and tricks - with Patreon + Spotify

  • Whisper is a free download for the more technically advanced which will produce automated transcripts for you to edit further: open podcast platform Castopod wrote a blog post on how to install it. There are a number of free VTT editor programs online.

  • Hindenburg Pro is one of a number of audio editors which does transcripts - and lets you edit using the words. You can also export the edited transcript in the format Apple Podcasts wants, if your podcast host supports uploaded VTT files. Just right-click on the manuscript view, and select “Export”.
