Are we nerds for being this excited about an iOS update? You can now access transcripts for Apple Podcasts on your iPhone. The caveat is that you can only access through the Apple Podcasts app if you have iOS 17.4.Ā Here are the times weāre going to use this:
Capturing all client mentions (or competitors) in podcasts without needing to listen.
Understand if a certain thing came up during a convo that a spokesperson had.
Researching relevant podcasts to pitch by better understanding the convo on past episodes.
Pulling quotes to share with the team or for social, without having to pause and transcribe.
