Apple Podcasts has expanded its auto-generated transcript feature to eight new languages, including Italian, Portuguese, and Swedish, bringing the total number of supported languages to eleven. These transcripts, which are generated shortly after an episode is published, are available on Apple devices like iPhones, iPads, and Macs. The transcripts are accessible by tapping the “Quote” button on the Now Playing screen in the Podcasts app, and they highlight words and sections of the transcript as the podcast plays, allowing users to read along with the speech. This new feature will make podcasts more accessible to users who are hard of hearing or deaf.
