Seems like it has plenty of potential.

Not sure if I've been unlucky but the terms I searched and found (eg "economic") did not come up in the audio for quite some time after I played the sample. Is it meant to start the audio near the search term occurrence? (which seems like the natural thing you'd expect)

Your intuition about how it should work is indeed correct. Some podcasts don't seem to produce a high quality timestamp in the underlying STT engine.

I'll be experimenting with word-level timestamps. Right now I am just getting the timestamp of larger chunks (1-3 sentences).

Thanks for the feedback!
