Despite the popularity of this audio format, podcasts exclude a huge potential audience – the deaf and hard of hearing, which sums up to 10 – 17% of the global population. There are simple alternatives to make podcasts available to this group: transcripts and video podcasts. Let us explain how you can quickly recycle your content and increase the reach of your channel.
This article published by Forbes describes how the “Deaf And Hard Of Hearing People Are Helping To Fix The Podcast Accessibility Problem”. Offering your content in a written form will give you a competitive advantage when reaching this audience that is so eager to consume podcast content.
The process is very simple since you already have the most important bit: the content itself. Since podcasts usually have good audio quality, which is crucial for AI-generated transcripts, you can use software like Amberscript to instantly transcribe your audio files.

As we mentioned, the deaf and hard of hearing make for a large portion of the population.Having your podcast in video format allows for using a different type of text version: subtitles.

Another way to increase the reach of your content is crossing borders: make your podcast available to an international audience by providing translated subtitles.
Here is what Amberscript has to offer:
In the options, once the subtitle file is created, you can add them to your video. Again, here you have some options: to encode the subtitles in the video file or use it as closed captions.
