Frequently asked questions
Can transcripts help podcast discovery?
Reviewed show notes and transcripts can help listeners and search engines understand the episode topic, guests, and key moments.
Should I publish every word of a bilingual interview?
Not always. Publish the full transcript when it helps listeners. For sensitive or conversational episodes, a reviewed summary may be better.
