Transcripts in Buzzsprout

Transcripts bring a lot of value to your podcast; they help with SEO, make your episodes more accessible to all listeners, and give your audience an easy way to see and share your content. We have a few options for including them in your episodes! 

If you are on one of our current paid plans, we'll automatically generate transcripts for your new episodes. You'll see them on the right-hand side of the page when you click into each episode. From here, you can edit the generated transcript, and we'll break down those steps here: Buzzsprout Transcript Editor. Note: If you're not seeing the transcript option, it is likely because you're not on one of our current paid plans. You can move to one of these plans by going to Settings > Subscription > Plan in your account. 

Cohost AI is an add-on feature in your Buzzsprout account that will easily generate a transcript (and other episode details) for your episode. You can try it for free and then enable it for future episodes for an added cost. Learn more about what Cohost AI has to offer here: Buzzsprout's Cohost AI. 

If you're using another service to create your transcripts, then you can upload one manually. Start by clicking on the title of the episode from the main Episodes page. From there, locate the Add Custom button under the "Transcript is Ready" text. If you have a plain text transcript, you can select the Copy and Paste option. Then paste your transcript into the area provided. You can use the toolbar to format your transcript to your liking. This formatting will show on your Buzzsprout website. Or, you upload an SRT file!

Note: There isn't an option to delete the transcript. If you need a transcript hidden from your Buzzsprout Website, email the Buzzsprout Podcaster Success Team at support@buzzsprout.com, and we can help!
