STOCKHOLM & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Soundtrap, a part of Spotify, today announced that its Soundtrap for Storytellers transcription service will now be available in French, Spanish, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Portuguese and Swedish, enabling millions of users worldwide to create quality podcasts with this easy-to-use solution.

Launched in May this year, Soundtrap for Storytellers is a comprehensive podcast creation solution that offers all of the following features in the same service: recording, remote multi-track interviewing with video chat, smart transcribing and editing of the spoken-word audio file as a text document, full audio production capabilities, the publishing of its transcript to optimize SEO, and the publishing of the podcast to Spotify.

The interactive transcript and editing studio has proven to be extremely popular – it saves hours of time by enabling users to transcribe the spoken word live and edit the audio file as they would in a text document, eliminating the need to type out text or listen to the podcast over and over again.

Equipped with a wide range of intuitive features, Soundtrap for Storytellers allows podcasters to focus on the art of storytelling by significantly reducing the time and investment typically needed to make podcasts sound professional. The full suite of services can be accessed via desktop, and a select set of recording and editing features is available on iOS and Android. Additional tools:
