Good idea. I was originally supposed to support transcription in the podcast RSS specification, but since there are not many podcasts implementing this field, I have not yet added this support.
Yes, snipd is very good. But for me: 1. It does not support Chinese transcription 2. It is more like a note-taking software rather than a podcast software. Therefore, I still developed this app.
Yes, I am planning to implement this feature. In the future, there will be more AI-related features, such as AI recommendations, support for more languages, and a more versatile podcast knowledge chatbot.
As a pocketcast lifer, I wish you success. Does Are you aware of listennotes who transcribes $1+0.06c per minute? I like the idea of 50 transcriptions per months, but there's like 30m podcasts and 3 hour podcasts. Eitherway feels like there's ~5 years where AI podcast have good subscription market before device side transcription/translation/natural voice. Hope you grow big before then.
Agreed, I also think local transcription is the ultimate solution. For now though, whisper.cpp is still too slow on cell phones. It may take some more time to develop.
I haven't followed listennotes' transcription feature, I'll check it out. I've tried their catalog and search API, and many popular Chinese podcasts are not included.
Look forward to Chinese podcast integration especially. TBH PRC podcast ecosystem is just so far ahead. There's nothing close to Ximalaya as an audio platform/economy. Podcast keeps getting bundled into music or video streaming platforms in west, when it should be combined with audiobooks, other spoken word content into it's own thing.
Not sure why this is downvoted. Ad blockers aren't illegal, no one has the obligation to listen to ads without skipping it. This isn't really controversial on HN.
