    My dude! Just use Whisper-CPP! It's free and takes almost no time! :) You may also find that many podcasts include a transcript anyway - look for podcast:transcript in the RSS feed…

    I'm curious - the female voice is definitely AI. But is the male voice AI? There are a few ums and ers there ... and why would you record an AI voice too close to the microphone, s…

    Hey, @bjar2 - would love to cover this for Podnews, the industry newsletter. I guess I'm curious about how the discovery platform works, and what data you're using. An API would be…

    This is a really interesting piece of work. I wonder what use it might have - perhaps it might aid those companies who do "brand suitability" tools, being able to spot when someone…

    This is nice, though Google's NotebookLM (and similar products from ElevenLabs and Meta) offer much the same thing for free.

    Bitwarden also supports passkeys, and works on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows etc. Mind, I’ve no idea how well it does so. Every so often, my passkeys fail in some incomprehensible way…

    alternateEnclosure is supported by PodcastAddict, PodLP, TrueFans, and a few more out of the gate. It's a comparatively new tag, but one that will be quite interesting once more po…

    You can either use the iTunes API, or you can use the Podcast Index, which is free and open for anyone. podcastindex.org also has a number of APIs to help build a tool.

    The YouTube Music app - a pre-installed app on most new Android phones - lets you subscribe to podcasts via RSS feed. If you know the RSS feed address, that is. So I built a thing …

    There are transcripts in some podcasts. Try looking at the RSS feed for Podnews Daily - in your service as https://pods.ee/261 (look at today's, Oct 19, since there was a bug gener…

    Free podcast stats can be generated using https://op3.dev Cloudfront on top of an Amazon S3 bucket is cheaper and faster than Amazon S3 on its own, by the way. You might also look …

    This is nice! :) You should find that the Podnews feed you're getting now gives you AAC rather than MP3 audio.

    This would be more useful/interesting if this podcast used https://op3.dev - an open service which many others use. The data quoted here seems to be mostly proprietary data from Sp…

    Arguably, this is a transformative work and would require the permission of the creator. steno.fm is an app that surfaces transcripts from podcasts who are doing their own transcri…

    This is correct; the Spotify embedded player - which the foundation has mistakenly used here, uses a DRM technology called Widevine. There are other, more sensible, tools to use he…

    This pre-dates the Podcast Index by a number of years, and as far as I'm aware, doesn't use the new podcast namespace at all. You can use PodcastIndex.org through their API, or sim…

    Each podcast publisher makes an RSS feed, which includes data about the show and each episode. They then add podcasts to podcast directories - https://podnews.net/article/all-the-p…
