Microstep 6 of 7

Where to get your podcast transcribed

Transcription services come in two flavours: human and AI. AI is cheaper and near-instant; human is more accurate (especially with strong accents) but takes days.

AI options are cheaper and generally less accurate — especially if you speak with a Scottish accent. You'll usually need to spend a wee bit of time correcting an AI transcript manually.

Alitu auto-generates transcripts of every episode you publish through it — one place for recording, editing, publishing, and transcripts. For human transcription, Rev is our preferred option.

Human services take a few days. AI does it almost immediately. There's no right or wrong — only what works best for you.
