[specialist]

My future perfect podcast player would

   - transcribe

   - automunge that transcription

       - remove "ah", "um" etc

       - remove repeated phrases [0]

       - optionally summarize [1]

   - stitch the surviving segments back into continuous audio

   - match words-per-minute between the speakers [2]

   - do all the "smartspeed" stuff that Fastbook and Overcast.app do

[0] Notable example: Scott Galloway of The Pivot adopted the affection of repeating phrases for emphasis. Drives me batty.

[1] No shade, because I understand it's a chat and not scripted, but Accidental Tech Podcast could benefit from summarization. I love that they're talking stuff out. But sometimes I just want the conclusions.

[2] Like when Lex Fridman interviews someone who talks faster than him.
