Text Groove has announced an exclusive partnership with RadioTranscript (Radiozeit internationally).
RadioTranscript transforms broadcast content into intelligent, interactive experiences. The integration with Text Groove will enable broadcasters to automatically respond to listener text messages with customized answers pulled directly from on-air content as it combines Text Groove’s studio texting capabilities with RadioTranscript’s AI-powered language models to create a solution that revolutionizes how listeners interact with broadcast content:
Among the features being offered:
- AI-powered responses from on-air content: When listeners text questions about topics covered on-air, they receive instant, accurate answers based on what was actually said during broadcasts
- Meet listeners where they are: In a world where 70% of 18-34 year-olds prefer texting to phone calls and 25% never answer calls at all, this solution addresses the growing “telephobia” phenomenon. Listeners can get personalized information without dialing in – perfect for a generation increasingly unlikely to make phone calls.
- Enhanced advertiser value: Questions about ads, sponsored content, and live reads are automatically answered with the relevant information, creating new revenue opportunities
- One-click setup of AI-powered response capabilities
- Customizable response templates that match your station’s tone of voice
- Comprehensive analytics to track engagement
- Multi-language and automatic translation support for diverse audiences
Text Groove Co-Founder/CEO Curtis Machek said, “At Text Groove, we’re constantly developing new and unique ways for our more than 3,000 partners to engage their audiences through texting. When we learned about the cutting-edge ways RadioTranscript is using AI to maximize broadcasters’ content, we immediately knew that integrating our capabilities would mean a match made in audience engagement heaven.”
RadioTranscript Founder/Managing Director Kristian Müller commented, “RadioTranscript/Radiozeit has a mission to make radio content more inclusive, accessible, and intelligent. Not only do our real-time/read-along transcriptions broaden a broadcasters’ audience and benefit SEO, but they also enable our LLM to customize content to an individual’s preference. Text Groove’s position as the leader in text messaging for broadcasters, paired with their dedication to constantly innovating and upgrading their offerings, make them the perfect partner for this exclusive collaboration.”
The system will listen to talent comments from on-air content to answer questions from listeners. Among the examples provided:
“When do tickets for Lady Gaga go on sale?” — The system automatically responds with exact details shared during the host’s on-air break
“What did the Foreign Minister say about Ukraine?” — Listeners receive a precise summary of the relevant discussion that aired on the station
“What’s today’s Deal of the Day at Freddie’s Fruits & Vegetables?” — The system extracts and shares specific information from sponsored live reads
