Great news, Pocket Casts fans! With version 7.85, we’ve introduced Generated Transcripts, a powerful new feature that makes engaging with your favorite podcasts easier than ever. Available on both Android and iOS for our Plus and Patron members, this feature allows you to follow along with podcast conversations.
Podcasts are full of incredible insights, but sometimes you want to revisit a key moment without scrubbing through the entire episode. With Generated Transcripts, you can now read along, search for specific phrases, and quickly find key discussions—even if a show doesn’t have their own transcripts.
To access them go to the player and from the toolbar tap the message icon. If you don’t see it you can reach it through the dot menu or customize the toolbar.
We continue to support transcripts provided by podcast creators, ensuring that manually curated ones remain available. However, with this new feature, we’re expanding access by automatically generating them for new episodes from the most-followed podcasts.
If a show already provides its own transcripts, those will remain available. But if they don’t, our generated transcripts will step in to ensure you can still follow along and search key moments.
We can’t wait to hear what you think—try it out and let us know your feedback!
