Good idea. I was originally supposed to support transcription in the podcast RSS specification, but since there are not many podcasts implementing this field, I have not yet added this support.

Yeah, I mean it might get rejected as an app from the app store. I support ad blockers.

Agreed, I also think local transcription is the ultimate solution. For now though, whisper.cpp is still too slow on cell phones. It may take some more time to develop.

I haven't followed listennotes' transcription feature, I'll check it out. I've tried their catalog and search API, and many popular Chinese podcasts are not included.

Yes, snipd is very good. But for me: 1. It does not support Chinese transcription 2. It is more like a note-taking software rather than a podcast software. Therefore, I still developed this app.

Yes, I am planning to implement this feature. In the future, there will be more AI-related features, such as AI recommendations, support for more languages, and a more versatile podcast knowledge chatbot.

It sounds like a useful feature, but I am worried it may have potential legal risks.
