Make your podcasts more searchable

So you are producing a podcast, but all of these directories are not sending the traffic you thought they would. What do you do? Poynter brings us news of a new service that is tackling your publicity woes with a different solution:

But now there's Podzinger -- a very cool free service. When you register the feed from your podcast in Podzinger, they grab your audio file from the feed soon after it's published. Then, behind the scenes, they use some ultra-sophisticated voice recognition software to create a rough transcript.

That transcript is rough -- definitely not good enough to publish, so it's a good thing Podzinger doesn't publish it. However, it is good enough to yield fairly accurate search results. So anyone searching for keywords at Podzinger turns up audio files which match that query.

Anyone out there using this? I'm sure Russell Holliman the Godfather of Houston Podcasting already knows about it. I might try it. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
