Data Transfer Guide

Adobe Podcast doesn't offer direct export of transcripts or project data, requiring a manual migration approach. First, download all audio files individually from Adobe Podcast's web interface, saving both original and enhanced versions. Organize these files locally with clear naming conventions. For transcripts, you must copy-paste text from Adobe Podcast's interface into documents, as there's no export function. In Happy Scribe, upload audio files using their drag-and-drop interface or API for bulk transfers. The platform supports 120+ file formats, making compatibility straightforward. For large libraries, consider using Happy Scribe's batch processing features and spread uploads over several sessions to avoid overwhelming the system. Remember that metadata like timestamps and speaker labels won't transfer automatically and must be recreated in Happy Scribe's editor.
