What Your Podcast Transcript Virtual Assistant Executes

Raw AI auto-captions damage brand credibility and fail accessibility requirements. We deliver meticulously audited, multi-format transcripts that elevate your show's reach.

Clean Verbatim Human Proofreading

Auditing Whisper/Descript drafts to eliminate filler words ("um", "like", "you know"), false starts, and throat clears while preserving the authentic voice of your hosts and guests.

  • Grammatically coherent sentence structures
  • Strict terminology & jargon spelling checks

Speaker Diarization & Timestamping

Labeling multiple speakers accurately throughout complex roundtable discussions. Inserting frequent timestamp markers (e.g. every 2 minutes or speaker transition) for easy reference.

  • Accurate guest name & honorific tagging
  • Clickable audio-synced jump points

Podcasting 2.0 & Apple Transcripts

Formatting transcripts into compliant SRT, WebVTT, and JSON files. Generating the required <podcast:transcript> RSS XML tags for Apple Podcasts and Spotify live player reading.

  • Buzzsprout, Libsyn & Transistor sync
  • WCAG & ADA accessibility compliance

SEO Article & Blog Repurposing

Rewriting the core arguments and insights of the episode into long-form 1,500+ word website blog posts, complete with H2/H3 subheadings, bullet summaries, and internal links.

  • Google organic search rank optimization
  • Direct WordPress/Elementor draft publishing

Key Takeaways & Pull Quote Extraction

Skimming the completed transcript to highlight viral pull quotes, memorable soundbites, resource links, book references, and key actionable principles for your social team.

  • Executive summary bullet packs
  • Timed cues for video clip editors

YouTube Video Closed Caption Ingestion

Uploading time-synced .SRT files directly into YouTube Studio. Eliminating awkward auto-generated YouTube caption errors that degrade viewer watch-time and accessibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between "Clean Verbatim" and "Full Verbatim"?
Clean Verbatim (the industry standard for podcasts) removes verbal crutches, throat clearing, filler words ("um", "ah", "like"), and false starts while preserving the exact meaning and tone of the speaker. Full Verbatim captures every single utterance, sound, and stutter word-for-word (often requested for legal, medical, or academic research). We can provide either format based on your show's requirements.
Do your virtual assistants generate caption files (SRT / VTT) for video podcasts?
Yes. Your assistant creates time-coded .SRT and .VTT files formatted with standard 2-line subtitle limits (32-37 characters per line) to prevent visual crowding. These can be uploaded directly into YouTube Studio, Vimeo, LinkedIn, or burned into social video clips in CapCut/Premiere.
How does the Dedicated Project Manager supervise transcription quality?
Your Dedicated Project Manager is your single point of contact. The PM performs spot audits on transcripts—checking accuracy against your show's custom glossary (guest names, industry acronyms, software tools, sponsor names), ensuring timecode sync, and verifying proper formatting before sending final files to you. This PM oversight is 100% free.
Can the assistant repurpose transcripts into SEO blog posts on our WordPress site?
Yes. Beyond standard text transcripts, your assistant can turn the conversation into an engaging 1,200 to 2,000 word blog post with headers, bullet summaries, quotes, and links to your podcast host player. They can upload the draft directly to your WordPress, Ghost, or Webflow dashboard for review.
