# How To Create A Transcript On CoHost

## CoHost’s Automatic Transcriptions make it simple to transcribe your podcast episodes for free. Easily create, edit, and export transcripts directly from your dashboard.

Creating a transcript for your episodes is easy with [CoHost’s Automatic Transcriptions](https://www.cohostpodcasting.com/feature/transcriptions), which allows users to transcribe their episodes at no extra cost and with no extra tools. 

To learn more about [CoHost Automatic Transcriptions and why we suggest all shows transcribe their episodes](https://cohost.helpscoutdocs.com/article/68-why-you-should-transcribe-our-podcast-episodes), check out our full article. 

Follow the below steps to get started:

#### **1. Head over to "Transcriptions" on the left-hand sidebar.**

#### **3. Press “Transcribe My Episode” and give CoHost a few minutes to process your transcription. **

You can close the processing window; however, either keep the browser tab open or refresh the page if you leave. We're transcribing in the background!

#### **5. Once ready, the transcript will open automatically OR you can click “Edit” in the transcription library.**

#### **6. Edit your speakers by clicking on the speaker indicated and typing the name you would like to add. **

Save time by pressing “Update All”, which will update all of the speaker slots with the same number as the one you edited.

#### **7. Edit your transcript by clicking on the text and making your edit.**

#### **8. Easily navigate your transcript by clicking on the audio bar at the bottom of the page.**

#### **9. Your transcript is auto-saved at the top, indicated by a checkmark.**

If you prefer to manually save, press the save button at the top right of the page.
