Apple Podcasts has ushered in a transformative feature with the introduction of auto-generated transcripts in its iOS 17.4 update. This advancement is a significant stride in making podcasts universally accessible and enhancing user experience. Crucially, it addresses the long-standing issue of inaccessibility for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities, who can now engage with podcast content through text.
These transcripts are not just static text; they are interactive, enabling listeners to search for specific content within episodes, jump to precise audio segments, and read along with highlighted text synchronized with the audio. Available in English, French, German, and Spanish, and accessible in over 170 countries, this feature demonstrates Apple's commitment to global inclusivity.

Scripting, editing, promotion — AI elevates it all. AI content tools can generate relevant scripts and talking points to captivate niche B2B audiences. Intuitive editing features then polish episodes to balance information and entertainment. And AI boosts distribution by creating shareable clips and audiograms tailored for different platforms.
