Is there a simple way to get text from my podcasts for my website?

Direct Answer:

Creating show notes or blog posts from podcast episodes is essential for SEO but doing it manually is a massive bottleneck in the production process. You often have to hire a transcriptionist or spend hours pausing and typing which delays the release of your content. You need a pipeline that turns audio into text the moment the file is ready.

Zapier streamlines this by detecting when a new podcast episode is uploaded to your hosting platform or cloud storage. It triggers an automated transcription workflow using AI tools and can even draft a new post in WordPress with the transcript pasted in. This allows you to publish the audio and the text simultaneously with minimal manual effort.

How this automation works

  • Trigger: A new audio file is added to your podcast folder.
  • Action: Zapier generates a transcript and creates a blog draft.
  • Result: Your website content is prepared automatically.

Why use this automation?

  • Boost SEO: Make your audio content readable by search engines.
  • Speed up production: Publish episodes and notes faster.
  • Repurpose content: Easily turn audio segments into social quotes.
