You might like this fascinating method where the developer of the Overcast podcast player worked out how to create individual sync’d transcripts for podcasts including those with dynamic ad insertion.

A little more than a minute starting at this link pretty much explains it. Some anti DAI ranting follows soon after that you might not want to hear 😏

Buying 48 Mac minis is also a very crazy story. The feature is only in beta so far.

#appledts tips 3/3

I followed up with one more question which was never answered ~8 working days later

They did mention that the old limit of 2 DTS's / year has been lifted. It was still worth doing the request because I did get answers, whereas just submitting to the forum may not.

One other tidbit to search for your posts - the format is user:name (no space) It does show you this (& others) sometimes when you click in the search field.

Best of luck!

#appledts tips 2/3

because I had a reference to a link - don't do that

Also entering code is tricky - I found the ``` delimited “code block” works best if you enter some spaces before pasting code

5 working days later I got an answer to a couple of my questions, and an answer my main question - that I didn't quite understand

I followed up the same day with asking for clarification and succeeded it uploading my example code

2 days later I got a much more complete answer to my main question.

A few tips about DTS - Apple's support for developers. 1/3

Start here: https://developer.apple.com/support/technical/ This lists a lot of things to do before submitting a request. I charged ahead and submitted one anyway.

4 days later I got an email saying that “code level support” is handled through the Dev forum now. This included a very helpful link about writing a good post: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/756175

I submitted a forum post the next day, but maybe moderating took it out
