Hi

I am interested to learn more about superannuation and retirement options. I am deaf so I cannot follow the podcasts. Is there a way of making transcripts available or having closed captioning subtitles made available for all podcasts please.

Regards

Hi David,

Unfortunately we don't offer that at this stage but hope to introduce it in the near future.

In the meantime, you might like to check out some of the superannuation and retirement resources on our website: https://www.moneymag.com.au/ta...

Hi David,

I'm wondering how this could not be more accessible for your individual needs and others. I'm not deaf myself, however I do have a baby that has one ear that has some sort of moderate to severe permanent mixed hearing loss

so have paid attention even more so to what's around with this journey. Plus I like to help others at the core of who I am.

I'm surprised there is not an option for this. I wonder if there's anything out there that can transcribe this to a generated text file so there is a transcript from capturing the audio. Right now I am unable to remember if any software can do this.

I'm sure I have seen this done on Aussie Firebug Money Blog I have followed at one point ,as I sometimes found it easier to block read faster than listen to the audio due to how I learn and take information in myself.
