So what if you’ve got the audio content and want a transcript of what was said? Even if you’re not a podcaster, what if you have meetings where you’d like the full text for later reference? Transcription services are enormously expensive and take a lot of time because it’s a really annoying thing to do by hand. I’ve heard from people with severely limited bandwidth to a guy who is deaf/blind and reads the show on his Braille display.

Over the years though, I’ve gotten lots of positive feedback for providing the script of my shows. In fact, I don’t know anyone who does it this way. I realized that there are those who would rather read than listen, so why not just give them the full text?īut this process is certainly not for everyone. I even tried writing just bullet points to remind me of what I wanted to say, but I found that I was writing full sentences and then editing them down to bullet points. While I can sound articulate when speaking on mic to another person, when I’m alone my speech is filled with “ums” and “ahs”.

I have found over the nearly 15 years of podcasting that I don’t speak well as a solo speaker without a script. You have probably figured out that I create my content as a podcast and also as a series of blog posts.
