Turn the audio into something a feed will play
Audio does not autoplay in a feed and most people scrolling have no headphones in. Overlaying artwork and a waveform with captions, or screen-recording a transcript that lights up each word as it is spoken, holds attention where a static image would not.
The method
- 01
Screen-record a transcript tool highlighting each word as the audio plays, which holds attention better than a static clip.
- 02
Turn audio into video by overlaying artwork and a waveform, and caption it so it works for people without headphones.
