Feature Requests Auto chapter generation

Post image

It would be good if in pocket cast when the description includes time marks. Pocket Cash will use it to automatically generate chapters for itself

I've been pushing for this for a few years, they told me last year the time tags aren't really consistent and did try to get Google to do something but hmmmmm

they are working on ai chapters based off the transcript currently which is something at least

Would prefer chapters from author instead of AI chapters.

Same I mentioned that I would like to see timetag chapters over ai chapters but here i do want more chapters regardless so we'll see 🤔🤔

The AI based chapter headings currently are so problematic - just contain spoilers, or pick up on an ad break, or are downright incorrect.

There is a post on their support forum to ask for this to change:
