Podcasts

Cartoon with mp3 playerWe can transcribe your document into an audio podcast, ready for you to publish online. Podcasts are an easy way to make audio versions of your documents available to everyone, through the internet. Documents as podcasts are not only accessible to visually-impaired people, but also preferable to many young people. Podcasts of your documents may even simply be used by busy people on-the-go.

A2i will adapt your documents for podcasts where necessary, including:

  • transcription of tables, diagrams and pictures
  • full indexing, as appropriate.
  • addition of musical intro’s and outro’s
