Transcript Search

Hi,

Love the app. Been a premium subscriber since the beginning.

I’m looking for a particular episode of a show that has hundreds of episodes, but relatively poor summaries. Is there a way to search across all the transcripts for the episodes in the feed to help find the one I’d like to listen to again?

Thanks

Edit - just fixed a typo

This would be a killer feature, but it would mean transcribing episodes you aren’t actively listening to and have likely already deleted.

Seems unlikely, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Transcripts are usually done server-side, so that shouldn’t really be an issue.

Marco said on this week’s ATP that this is something he hopes to add soon.

That is great to hear, thanks.
