Then you have the option as a podcast creator
to add a transcript to your show. And again,
those people that do are giving the fans and
listeners the option to read along at the same
time as they may be listening as well. You can
then use the search box to find content within
the transcript if you want. Welcome to Fanzone,
your bite -sized guide to getting the most out
of the TrueFans podcast app. In each episode,
we'll discuss an aspect of the app and hopefully
answer any questions you may have about it. Plus,
when you listen to FanZone in TrueFans, you
can earn as you listen and use your earnings
to support your favourite podcasters. I'm Claire
Waite Brown, independent podcaster and all -round
podcast enthusiast. And I'm Sam Sethi, the CEO
and founder of TrueFans. Working along the tabs,
we continue on the episode screen and after chapters
comes transcripts. Sam, what will I see when
I click on transcripts? The word is, of course,
transcript. Singular, not transcripts. That's
what you'll see on the screen. Well, you'll see
one of two things. Hopefully you'll see a full
transcript and you'll have a search box at the
top as well. And if the person tag is also added
to the RSS feed, what you'll get is a nice label
saying who each speaker is within the transcript
and even an image of the person as well, possibly.
So that's the first thing you'll see. find content
within the transcript if you want or you can
manually scroll down and you'll see that each
block of text where there is a speaker change
actually has a timestamp with it and a copy marker
as well so if you want to go to a certain piece
of text in the transcript and then want to copy
that to share it with some friends on social
media or in an email and a link back to that
exact point then you can do that The alternative
is sometimes, and I'd say actually more often
than not, you won't find a transcript, sadly,
but you can now buy a transcript using TrueFans.
So you'll see a button that says buy transcript,
and that will allow you to pay from your wallet
a small amount of micropayments, either in fiat
or sats, and that allows you then to buy that
transcript. We will then deliver that to that
page for you, and you can then start to read
the transcript as normal. So yes. You'll either
find a transcript, hopefully, or if there isn't
a transcript in place, you can buy a transcript.
Okay, I like the copy option. That's really cool
for sharing and just copying some clips for yourself.
So just for a bit of background, Sam, why will
there be transcripts for some shows and why won't
there be transcripts for some shows? Again, two
reasons. So some hosts do not support the transcript
tag from podcasting 2 .0, which is a shame and
we hope more of them do. But those podcast hosts
that do like Captivate, Buzzsprout, Blubrry
and many others, then you have the option as
a podcast creator to add a transcript to your
show. And again, those people that do are giving
the fans and listeners the option to read along
at the same time that they may be listening as
well. So yes, more people to put transcripts
out there, please. Yeah, completely agree. If
your host allows you to do it, I have experience
and it's very easy to do. So you've got no excuses.
None at all. Thanks so much for listening. There
are lots more episodes of Fanzone for you to
get stuck into and that show you how to make
the most of the fab features that this forward
-looking podcast app has to offer podcast listeners
and creators alike. We'd love to hear from you.
