»Accessible and ‘a pleasure to read’: how #Apple’s #podcasttranscriptions came to be. Apple rolled out a feature highly requested by both #disabled users and #podcastcreators. Why did it take so long?« https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/jun/15/apple-podcast-transcription-feature?eicker.news #tech #media

Just a quick update for our friends: a few episodes ago, we quietly introduced transcriptions to our AppleVis podcast. These transcripts are generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service. They are unedited and unformatted, and may not perfectly capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content. We hope this will be helpful for those who have been seeking podcast transcriptions. Starting with iOS 17.4, the Apple Podcast app will automatically provide transcriptions for any podcast you’ve subscribed to. For those who don’t use Apple Podcasts as their go-to podcast catcher, we’re offering the same transcription experience. Enjoy! #PodcastTranscriptions #ApplePodcast #AIKO #iOS174 #PodcastCatcher 🎙️📝🎧
