SEO - Drive Traffic and Ad Revenue to your Website / Media / Podcasts
Search engines are an essential way to attract visitors to your website. Search engines such as Google scan the text of your site to determine your content and then places your website accordingly in search results. Unfortunately, search engines have no way of knowing what content is contained inside your audio or video files. Interactive Transcripts solve this problem by placing a transcript of your media on your website. Your content will show up in search results, driving traffic that was not available before. For Publishers and Podcasters who generate revenue via advertisements, this has the added benefit of placing more relevant ads on your pages, and in turn drives increased ad revenue.
Integrate Transcripts on your Website and Offline Products
Embedding Interactive Transcripts on your website is simple. Once your transcripts are completed, we provide you with the apporpriate embed code to host the product on your own website. This is advantageous as you can add your own branding and advertising. You can also put your Interactive Transcripts on DVD using our stand-alone offline player. This is popular with our clients who run conferences as they provide the product to their attendees.
Broaden your Podcast Audience
Many people listen to more then one Podcast, but they only have a certain amount of time to listen to all of them! Having the transcript of your Podcast available for readers gives people the ability to read your content (which they may come across on search engines) much faster then listening to the entire Podcast. New users can decide if they like your content by skimming the text, without having to listen to all your audio. In case studies this has led to an increased amount of listeners, readers, and/or viewers.

Language translation can open up your content to the billions of non-English speakers around the world.
