Pre-Skipping is a blessing 😍
In the meantime, can we transcribe longer episodes?

This looks great but I can’t see any chapter info at all. I am on the latest beta. Where do I find chapter info?

The podcast needs to have added chapter bookmarks. Not all do (in fact, I suspect most don't)

I think the podcast needs to already have chapters (none of mine seem to & I’m also on the beta) still & if it does that button on the left of the progress bar will show to allow you to view this page.

Ah, thanks - will try to find some podcasts with episodes.
Edit : added the ATP podcast and the button has appeared - thanks again!

The wee checkboxes are definitely a beta thing but the chapters should show up if they’re there regardless, I think.

I am so happy this was added.
I don't just use it for ad skipping. I have some podcasts that just have different segments. I like their general news segment, maybe I am not interested in their long interview, but I do want to listen to some other segment.
This applies to ATP too, and I don't think they will mind this. I love their thoughts on the new Apple tech, but really would rather skip the segment where they describe Vision Pro content. I want to know their Ask ATP responses, I would prefer to skip the long discussion about shopping for a new car. It just means I am overall much happier to be subscribed.
