After the transcription is complete, you can check to make sure it got everything correct and make any edits as necessary, including adding, removing, or editing words. Anchor will then work to transcribe the clip, which for longer clips may take a while, so there’s a feature to get notified when it’s done – a nice touch. It starts with selecting a recorded clip on your Station and tapping the video button to the left of the share icon. The creation of an Anchor Video is smooth and easy.

If a follower comes across your video and doesn’t want to or can’t listen to audio in a given situation, they can simply watch the transcription fly by and even if they do want only audio, presenting that audio as an Anchor Video will make it stand out more in a social media feed. The finished product includes your original audio complemented by a running stream of the clip’s spoken words in written form transcribed words animate across the screen as the clip plays, providing an elegant visual way of sharing your content on social media. Put simply, an Anchor Video takes your recorded audio, transcribes it, then creates a video out of the content. Anchor, the service that aims to bring audio creation to the masses, introduced a new feature today in its iOS app that offers a better way to share audio clips on social media: Anchor Video.
