I've added a transcript, now what?

Now that your episodes include transcripts, the transcript file will appear in the RSS feed as part of each episode’s information.

How it shows up as an option to clients depends on where they’re getting their podcasts.

In Dovetail, you can preview how it will appear in our embeddable player by selecting “embeddable player” on your podcast page. Note: this works whether you select it for the whole podcast or for a single episode.

If your episode has a transcript and is a JSON file, there will be a closed captioning icon visible in the player dashboard.

If you scroll down and select the icon to open the player as a separate window, you will also notice a closed captioning icon in that display.

If your clients are using other podcast apps, how they can access transcripts or closed captioning varies depending on the app. Please consult the FAQ for the individual app if you have questions about how to access closed captions and transcripts in their specific app.
