Pocket Casts introduced Generated Transcripts in version 7.85 for Plus and Patron members on Android and iOS.
Generated Transcripts allow users to follow podcast conversations, search for specific phrases, and find key discussions easily.
The feature is available only for a subset of popular podcasts and works on the server side.
Steven Aquino switched from Overcast to Apple Podcasts due to Apple's support for transcripts.
New APIs announced at WWDC may enable future versions of Overcast and other apps to generate transcripts on-device.
Kyle Howells mentioned challenges with Apple's speech transcription APIs being more complex than before.
Adam Engst highlighted differences in transcription accuracy across platforms like Notes and recommended using Audio Hijack or MacWhisper for better results.
Audio Hijack supports more languages and offers better accuracy than Notes but lacks line breaks.
The news relates to Apple Podcasts Transcripts and developments at WWDC 2025 Keynote.
