@davewiner @johnspurlock Important to note that you can submit your own transcriptions via the podcast namespace in RSS, which Apple then ingests. That is the only way to do multi-speaker transcripts (since Apple's systems don't know who the voices are). Those RSS transcripts also used by other apps.

How Apple added support for automatic transcript generation in the Podcast app, a feature highly requested by both disabled users and podcast creators

@davewiner @johnspurlock Both Morning Coffee Notes and Trade Secrets have auto transcripts in the RSS feed; but both fall back to Apple's transcripts since they're better than the ones I roughly produced. But we have the power to overwrite them!

This fool. In three days we have no API, we still have no pricing options or details, and now he has decided he quite likes some of the “good content” that the API puts on his platform. Who'd trust him? https://twitter.com/...

After Twitter said free API access would end on February 9, Elon Musk promises “a light, write-only API for bots providing good content that is free”

@MrAsquith We've had it for a while - it's an app trying to pretend to be the radio. “Play me rock music”. Pandora was the thing a while ago, so it was Spotify trying that. Good product for people who have search blindness.

Also: the experience on Spotify is much more clunky, especially because you can't subscribe in the app. This is because Apple take 30% of all in-app payments. So Apple is, essentially, making the product of its competitor worse. Clever.

@mekhail_baihaqi @mijustin @benthompson @gruber @SamHarrisOrg Example: Luminary shows will be available via Apple Podcasts and inside their own app - https://podnews.net/... (Luminary has elected to sell shows at the same monthly price on both; so they “lose” 30% in their cut to Apple; but then, they “lose” money keeping that app alive).

Apple Podcasts will drop the word “subscribe” in iOS 14.5, substituting the word “follow”; research shows “subscribe” signals a cost for some non-listeners

A small change with a big impact: no more “subscribe” as podcasting moves to “follow”

Just read a hand-wringing article desperately worried that the open ecosystem of podcasting is under threat by Spotify. The open ecosystem that Apple has 70% control of? That kills ideas that Apple don't want to implement? That open ecosystem? Or one that's actually “open”? 🤔
