Chat-style transcript layouts with speaker bubbles for readable, SEO-friendly interviews on podcast & interview websites.

== Description ==

AudioTyped UX provides clean, accessible, and structured transcript layouts for interviews, podcasts, co-host formats, research conversations, and other spoken-word content published on WordPress. The plugin improves readability through a chat-style layout with distinct speaker sections and optional avatars, helping readers follow conversations smoothly.

Traditional transcripts often appear as dense text blocks or hidden behind toggles. AudioTyped UX places transcripts front and center with a clear layout that supports accessibility and makes long-form conversations easier to navigate — including for deaf and hard-of-hearing users.

All layouts are created using pure HTML, ensuring full SEO crawlability and compatibility with assistive technologies.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

=For which podcast transcripts I can make the settings?=

The settings are for interview transcripts with 2 speakers

=Nothing happens, when I make settings, what's wrong?=

Probably the transcript is not coded in the UX Interview Layout.
Your interview transcript has to be coded in a specific HTML for the UX Interview Layout.
Soon there will be a documentation with examples.

=Is the UX layout still good for SEO?=

Yes, because it's pure HTML Code, the content is crawlable for Google, Bing or other search engines
