If you use an iPhone, and listen to podcasts with headphones that have buttons: https://apps.apple.com/hu/app/airr-highlight-podcasts/id1355...

A triple tap creates highlights at the current location. If the podcast has transcripts, even the surrounding text is saved. It integrates with readwise.io too, so you have export/reminder options there as well.

Unfortunately nothing like this for audiobooks yet.

I'm in the process of creating a website to host a podcast after getting in contact with the producer. I wonder you know:

- are there any open source software that couples transcript with the podcast?

- do transcripts get crated through NLP or some other tech automatically for English podcast?

This is why I believe shownotes are so important. Include text, links, chapter marks/titles already in the podcast feed... transcripts via AWS/wit.ai or other cloud services...

Show notes are vital for podcasts. Often, I will just skip over a podcast if the show notes are lacking. I just know they will say something interesting that I would never be able to get back to unless I listen through it again.

A lot of podcasts these days just add transcripts and leave it at that. Transcripts are better than nothing and probably good for the podcast producers for SEO or whatever but I don't find them all that useful. IMHO the show notes must have links for every broad topic, concept, person, book, project, conference talk mentioned.

Hey sigjuice! I couldn't agree more about the importance of show notes for podcasts.

I am actually doing some market research around power listeners that like to refer to show notes in podcasts. I would love to talk to you for 20 mins and ask you a few questions to learn from you. Happy to buy you a coffee in return (via paypal / venmo) :)
