At least, not in an official capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>The good news is that savvy app developers have created a workaround<\/b> for other devices to be able to use Google Recorder. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-recorder-app-1069849\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">We recommend reading this post from Android Authority<\/a> for guidance on how to use the app without a Pixel phone. However, as with all applications and \u201chacks,\u201d we also recommend that you do your research before simply downloading and using them to avoid the risk of breaking your phone or opening it up to potential malware issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-use-google-docs-voice-typing-for-transcriptions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-use-google-docs-voice-typing-for-transcriptions\"><\/span>How to Use Google Docs Voice Typing for Transcriptions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though this option will require you to speak every word of your podcast audio a second time, an alternative to the Google Recorder app is to use Google Docs Voice Typing tool in Chrome.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their voice typing is fairly accurate, and it will provide you with a transcript in document form that you can add additional notes and formatting too. After cleaning up your transcription, and adding any other notes you would like, you can then copy and paste your text directly into your blog post\/website page <a href=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/you-just-published-your-first-podcast-episode-now-what\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for your podcast episode.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-use-youtube-transcripts\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-use-youtube-transcripts\"><\/span>How to Use YouTube Transcripts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that YouTube has a free transcription feature? <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/YEOno-LZAz0\">If your podcast is on YouTube<\/a>, then this will be another alternative for transcriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube transcripts&nbsp;<b>don&#8217;t require you to speak the words of your recording a second time<\/b>. Instead, you can simply add a single image to your audio and convert it into a single image video using software like One Image Video, and then load the MP4 file onto your YouTube channel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/DyLAIOmD3Q0\">uploaded your podcast episode on YouTube<\/a>, enable captions, and your YouTube video will create a generic transcript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click publish, and then go to the video link on a desktop, and click on the 3 horizontal dots next to the SAVE option, and you\u2019ll see an &#8220;Open transcript&#8221; option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click that button, and you\u2019ll be given the rough transcript that you can select, copy, and paste into a word processing document for editing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/how-to-transcribe-your-podcast-for-free-youtube.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/youtube\/answer\/2734799?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube transcriptions<\/a> tend to be a little less accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this, you might need to spend a little while editing the transcript it generates before you publish it on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve saved your transcript, it\u2019s up to you whether or not you choose to leave your podcast video up on YouTube.

Next, go to the recordings tab. Check off the \u201cSelect Audio Transcript\u201d. The final step (at this stage) is to record. Close out of the settings and click \u201cRecord\u201d on the bottom Zoom taskbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, just start recording your podcast like you normally would. If someone in the session needs real-time captions, you or a co-host can edit and correct the transcription as needed. If not, there will be an opportunity to edit and finalize the transcription afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Zoom recording, you will receive an email from Zoom with the subject line \u201cAudio transcript for the recording xxx is now available\u201d. Click the link in the email or via your Zoom cloud to access your recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All that\u2019s left is to view the recording, and match your actual audio with the transcription. Select \u201cEdit\u201d for incorrect text and then click \u201cSave\u201d when it is corrected. Once changes are made in the transcript, the caption will automatically update too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udcd8 <strong>Related Reading<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/start-podcast-on-youtube\/\">How to Start a Podcast on YouTube.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>\ud83d\udca1 Pro Tip<\/b>: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1-NGMO5zq6U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here&#8217;s How to Record Your Podcast Using Zoom.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-options-for-transcribing-your-podcast\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"other-options-for-transcribing-your-podcast\"><\/span>Other Options for Transcribing Your Podcast<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a list of even more free transcription software programs for you to check out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/otranscribe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OTranscribe<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nch.com.au\/scribe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Express Scribe<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theftwtranscriber.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The FTW Transcriber<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inqscribe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inqscribe<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/podscribe.ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Podscribe<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.temi.com\/\">Temi<\/a> allows you to record up to 45 minutes free and get a transcript for your audio.
