Spotify Unveils Automatically Generated Podcast Transcripts – Get the Details Here

Do you enjoy listening to Spotify podcasts but struggle with understanding the words and accents at times? If so, Spotify has introduced an exciting improvement for you. To improve the user experience of its vast podcast collection, Spotify has revealed the introduction of automatically generated podcast transcripts. This innovative addition will soon be available to more podcasters on the platform. Discover what this new Spotify feature will provide for you.

Podcast transcripts automatically generated by Spotify

Spotify’s new auto-generated transcription feature integrates seamlessly with millions of Spotify podcast episodes. It allows users to access a text-based version of the content. In addition to this, these transcriptions are time-synchronized with the audio, allowing users to visually follow along as the podcast episode progresses.

To access this feature, simply scroll down below the podcast player and tap the “Read along” section.

One of the immediate benefits of these transcripts is their ability to make podcast content more accessible to a wider audience. According to its blog, Spotify says: “In the coming weeks, we’ll be releasing millions of episode transcripts, and we’ll be developing this feature more in the future, including ways to add media to transcripts. It’s all part of our goal to bring more depth to the podcasts you listen to.”

Podcast chapters

In addition to transcripts, Spotify is adding one more tool to its platform, which is “Podcast Chapters”. Users who prefer reading to listening can now enjoy their favorite shows without having to listen to an entire episode. Earlier this year, Spotify announced the number of podcasts in Stream On. This feature allows you to easily jump to episodes of a specific topic or section. If you scroll down the Now Playing view, you’ll find a full list of chapters. This feature is now available for smartphone users worldwide. This feature gives users more control over their listening sessions and provides additional information about each episode as they continue their podcast.

Only time will tell how effective these tools will be for Spotify users. Until then, wait for this exciting feature to roll out.
