Podcast and Video Transcription – You can appeal to a wider audience.
Having transcripts of all of your podcasts means that you can reach a more varied and wider audience. Such as those who are deaf or have a hearing impairment. It also gives your audience the option to read the podcast. If they would prefer not to listen or are in a situation where it is easier to read the contents. If your podcasts are in the form of a tutorial, or are instructional in nature, then it can be a great accompaniment to help aid learning.
