Providing transcripts to your podcasts is the most important thing you can do to increase your podcast’s accessibility. In addition, many users benefit from the transcripts, not just those with a disability. Transcripts provide users (and creators) a way to search the podcasts for specific content. In addition, many users might want to listen and follow along reading the transcript as a way to better learn the material. Also, users can user the transcripts to write notes etc. regarding the topic. The best way to provide a transcript is inline on the OER’s page itself, but you can also provide downloadable or linked transcripts.
