Even more 😮😮
Native transcripts in the Podcasts app!
They look like lyrics from the Music app, but they support search, text selection, and sharing. Wow.
Looking forward to more details on this one.

@viticci Wow — now I wonder if that’s on-device or done by their servers…
Assuming server-side, for new episodes (if server-side) will that be at time of upload or when a user requests them? And will those transcripts be accessible by an API?
So many questions, and no answer (until a support document gets written, I suppose)
scottobara@viticci Somebody’s doing some low-risk production testing their new LLMs!
David Lynch@viticci hopefully that’s on-device and available to apps like overcast to use as well…

Josh@viticci Wow. I hope they let 3rd parties (Marco)plug into this. I am not switching to the native app in general, but I might have to use it on occasion.
Jason Snell@viticci Working on something but: https://podcasters.apple.com/support/5316-transcripts-on-apple-podcasts
Marc Palmer- Serverside
- On time of upload (or shortly after), not when requested by a user
- Unknown if there will be an API (but I doubt it)

@avakining @viticci podcasters can supply their own transcripts, optionally.
in terms of other services getting access via API, I doubt it. I do wonder if Apple might allow full text search inside the app…
Sam Burkhard@jsnell @marcoarment are these transcripts accessible from Apple? Is there any chance of seeing this in overcast?? 👀

@viticci What, no karaoke mode?
eduo@viticci I need @overcastfm to get these :(
Matt Vaughan@viticci this is going to be extremely handy!
Ralph Waldo Pickle Chips@viticci that's very cool, though I dislike the trend (I've seen it in some third-party apps too) where you have to go into a special text-selection mode
Thor Schroeder@viticci does this also work on MacOS?
