ElevenLabs explains in its blog how to create a text version of a podcast with AI in five steps and publish it on platforms and a website.

✨ What this guide is about

ElevenLabs, a company that makes AI for working with voice, has published a step-by-step guide in its blog. It shows how to turn a podcast audio recording into text using artificial intelligence.

A text made from a conversation is useful for those who want listeners to be able to read an episode, or who want to find particular parts without listening to it.

📌 What the guide says

According to the author, a podcast can be transcribed in five steps. The text can then be formatted as SRT or VTT. These are special text files that contain the words together with the time they were spoken. Such files are usually used for subtitles in videos.

The guide also explains how to publish the finished text on podcast platforms and on your own website.
