Users will be able to access an episode\u2019s transcript from the bottom-left corner on the Now Playing screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transcripts were built to strengthen accessibility. The font and color contrast were designed to make long-form text easier to scan and read. Users who are Deaf or hard of hearing are also able to access transcripts without having to press play on the episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/images\/2024\/03\/apple-introduces-transcripts-for-apple-podcasts\/article\/Apple-Podcasts-transcripts-search.zip\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/images\/2024\/03\/apple-introduces-transcripts-for-apple-podcasts\/article\/Apple-Podcasts-transcripts-search_inline.jpg.large.jpg\" alt=\"The search function within the Apple Podcasts transcript feature is shown on iPhone 15 Pro.\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting today, transcripts are available for English-, French-, Spanish-, and German-language podcasts on iPhone and iPad with iOS 17.4 and iPadOS 17.4. Transcripts will not offer translations from one language to another. Transcripts will automatically be available for new episodes shortly after episodes are published. Previously released episodes will be transcribed over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creators who prefer to provide their own transcripts can do so through RSS tags or in Apple Podcasts Connect for subscriber episodes.
