Apple Podcast Transcripts Wishlist
Sometimes I firmly believe if I wasn’t deaf that I would listen to many podcasts. I still remember years ago when the first podcasts started popping up and I was already deaf by then, how frustrated I was when blogs I liked to read switched over to podcast. Transcripts wasn’t even a thing back then.
Nowadays, some podcast have transcripts, some don’t and some even stopped adding them to their site. Which means I never put energy into random podcasts. But, if someone I follow was interviewed on a podcast on a subject that has my interest, I will check the podcast website for a transcript. It’s 50/50 if they will have it.
Which is why I’m happy that for a year or so(?) the Apple Podcast app provides transcripts. It’s not perfect, because it doesn’t say who says what. Reading a transcript with several speakers is brain overload when you don’t know who is saying what. A two speakers podcast is about what I can handle and even so I often get confused who says what.
One of the podcasts I’m familiar with is Design Matters hosted by Debbie Millman. This podcast has no transcripts, once in a while I was able to find a transcript provided by third party websites and I also bought the Design Matters book 4 years ago, and I still haven’t finished it btw. Such is the life of all the hefty design books I own.
But I digress.
The latest Design Matters episode features Craig Mod to discuss his memoir Things Become Other Things (Apple Podcast). Of course I wanted to read the transcript, I have been subscribing to Craig’s newsletter for years now, even tho I’m not a Special Members subscriber (again due to possible lack of captions for the videos). I have even ordered his Kissa by Kissa book all the way from Japan.
Craig Mods episode is 1.23 hour long, which means, reading the transcript takes a bit longer because I’m actually reading it word for word and not scanning through it. I opened the transcript in Apple Podcast app on my iPhone and started reading on the train on my way to work, then I kept reading on my way back home. Then I finished it the next day during lunch.
All that time I had to make sure not close the app otherwise I would lose my reading position. Of course I accidentally clicked on something in the app during reading and had to open the transcript again and find where I left off.
My Transcript Wishlist for Apple
- Label who says what, e.g. Speaker 1, Speaker 2. With AI getting better I believe they should be even be able to label who is actually saying what.
- A placeholder to mark where I left off.
- Nice to have not a must: Text adjustment, size, light, and dark mode.
Basically, treat the transcripts as equal as the sound version. With every nifty features to make it a joy to use.
I believe this can be possible for a company like Apple. So here I am, putting my wish for these 3 things out in the world and hopefully someone in the Podcast app team will take notice.

@Roknrol Well, I'm kind of afraid of being sanctioned for alt-texts that lack text transcripts, even if the additional long image description in the post text contains them. I mean, the rule says that text must always be transcribed, and the transcripts must always go into the alt-text. That, and not everyone may want to wade through a long description of 20,000 to 60,000 characters to read the transcripts.
Also, I go as far as transcribing more than 20 individual bits of text within one image, only two of which are actually halfway readable at the given resolution. About a dozen of these bits of text can be found in an area that's five pixels tall and a dozen pixels wide in the image. The individual bits of text are so tiny at this resolution that they're invisible in the image. And yet, I transcribe them because, technically, they're still within the borders of the image.
But as long as you don't say I could and should try harder...

@Roknrol I don't post social media app screenshots.
When I post memes, I only transcribe the pieces of text that are important within the context, but I do transcribe all of them.
I hope it's okay to leave out bits of text that don't matter in this case.
On the other hand, when I post original images, I transcribe every last bit of text within the borders of the image that I can read at the source, regardless of whether it's readable in the image at the resolution at which I'm going to post it.
I hope that's okay, too. And I hope it's okay that these transcripts only go into the long image description in the post text and not into the alt-text where there isn't enough space for them.
Also, I've yet to find a way to correctly transcribe things like text in other languages or text in multiple languages or misspellings, seeing as text must normally be transcribed 100% verbatim.
And I wonder if I can get away with deviating from transcribing 100% verbatim in the cases of all caps, misspellings, multiple paragraphs, quotation marks in the transcribed text and the like.

@Author-ized L.J. That's the problem: Whatever I do, I'll lose either way.
On the one hand, I feel a great pressure to describe and explain everything in advance. That way, nobody would ever have to ask me to describe a detail or explain something. And nobody, not even the most die-hard Mastodon alt-text activists, could say that I'm careless and that I only do the very bare minimum or not even that. There are people out there who are eager to block everyone who doesn't describe their images enough or lecture them or attack them for being lazy.
The last time I've described an image for Hubzilla, I refused to write detailed descriptions for the images within that image. That would have escalated and cost me weeks to describe them all because I'd also have had to describe dozens of images within these images and even more images within these images. Mind you, someone who travels to the place I've described couldn't actually see what I'd have described because the images in my image themselves have a limited resolution. But I genuinely felt bad for not describing these images.
Besides, if I only described my original images once, namely in the alt-text, and then briefly and concisely, and if someone came and asked me to describe certain elements at greater detail, I couldn't always do that. Sometimes I couldn't go back to the place shown in the image and take a closer look and write a more detailed description because that place simply doesn't exist anymore, or it has been modified, and it doesn't look like the image anymore. The details that I'd have to take a closer look at are gone.
On the other hand, my experience is also that posting more than 500 characters at once reduces my reach on Mastodon tremendously. I think I must have over 700 or 800 followers, but my reach on Mastodon is similar to that of someone with not even a dozen followers. And I don't think that's because what I post is so uninteresting or because of my rather controversial thoughts about the Fediverse, accessibility in the Fediverse, image descriptions etc.
Basically, I can't possibly post images without risking being sanctioned by anyone.
I've briefly considered putting my long descriptions into separate HTML documents and linking to them. In theory, that would reduce the length of my image posts greatly. However, this is entirely untested. I don't know if it'd work at all, i.e. open the HTML document in someone's browser rather than downloading it to their device as a file. I don't know either if a plain HTML document with no style sheet would be accessible to screen reader users.
What I do know, though, is that Mastodon hates external links with a flaming passion. That's also because the vast majority of Mastodon users is always on phones, using dedicated Mastodon apps. They hate their browser popping open when they tap a link all the same. Also, they tend to distrust external links because the linked documents or pages may not be sufficiently accessible.
Everything would be a whole lot easier if there were Fediverse-wide standards for image descriptions that take the requirements of blind or visually-impaired people into consideration as well as Mastodon's unique culture. If these standards were known to everyone both on Mastodon and in the non-Mastodon Fediverse. If everyone from blind or visually-impaired users to neurodivergent users to fully sighted alt-text activists agreed upon these standards all the same. And if these standards covered extreme edge-cases like mine as well. If there was a generally agreed-upon consensus on a whole lot of questions like:- Is it okay to have to ask for detailed descriptions of certain details in an image that don't matter within the context of the post?
Or do they have to be described right away if there's a chance that someone might be curious about them? What if nothing specific in the image matters more within the context than everything else? - Is it okay to have to ask for explanations if you don't understand the topic of an image?
Or do images about very obscure niche topics have to come with enough explanations for everyone to understand them right away (not counting technical or jargon terms which always have to be either avoided or explained)? - So there's the rule that all text within an image must be transcribed verbatim. How far does this rule go?
Let's suppose I have a few dozen individual bits of text within an image. Most or all of them are so small that they're unreadable. Some are so tiny that they're actually invisible at the image's resolution. Still, technically speaking, they're there. And: I can read them. Instead of reading them in the image, I can read them at the source. So I can transcribe them all.
What is the rule then?
Do I have to transcribe them although they're unreadable because the rule says all text has to be transcribed?
Do I have to transcribe them although they're unreadable because not doing so and writing that they're unreadable with no transcript is or may be considered lazy?
Do I have to transcribe them because they're unreadable, and even fully sighted people need a transcript to know what's written there?
Mustn't I transcribe them because they don't show themselves as text in the image at the image's resolution (if they actually don't)?
Mustn't I transcribe them because I must only describe what's visible in the image at the image's resolution to the naked eye?
Do I have to transcribe them in my special edge-case in spite of the two above lines because this might be my last and only chance to transcribe them, for they may be gone tomorrow, and I would no longer be able to transcribe them if someone asked for a transcript? Or must I remember to keep personal transcripts of all the texts I come across in my images, just in case someone asks for a transcript of a bit of text that no longer exists? - Must all text transcripts always be in the alt-text as opposed to an extra long image description in the post? Even if I have 20+ individual text transcripts to squeeze into Mastodon's limit of 1,500 characters of Misskey's limit of 512 characters?
Or is it okay to- transcribe them in a separate long description in the post text
- not put these transcripts into the alt-text
- mention in the alt-text that there is a long image description in the post, that all the texts in the image are transcribed there, and how exactly to find that long image description?
- If any of the above requires a separate long image description because the image description won't fit within the alt-text character limits, is it preferred for the long description to be in a linked document that will open in the browser (given one has the means to write and host such a document, and users on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte do have these means)?
Or must the long description be where the image is at all costs? Must it be in the post itself for the convenience of app users even if it inflates the post to a hyper-massive length to the inconvenience of Mastodon users?
Worse yet: I've recently found out that none of the things above must be discussed on Mastodon. Ever. You must not discuss that stuff. You must do it. But you must do it right off the bat. For whichever individual definition of "right".

@Darth Hideout 🏳️🌈 @RememberUsAlways So this means that if I have an extremely long and fully detailed image description in the post (my character limit is not 500, but over 16.7 million), and that image description contains verbatim transcripts of all text that's anywhere within the borders of the image (been there done that)...
...I still have to provide another image description in the alt-text that's still sufficiently detailed and accurate, and that contains all the same verbatim transcripts of all the same texts?
Now, I'm not talking about Twitter or Bluesky or Mastodon screenshots. I'm talking about renderings from within 3-D virtual worlds. They may have a whole lot of text in them even if it isn't always large enough to be readable.
For example, take this image from the same Fediverse channel that I'm replying to you right now:
#^https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/photos/jupiter_rowland/image/b1e7bf9c-07d8-45b6-90bb-f43e27199295
I've posted it in this Fediverse post (as in the post did end up in a lot of Mastodon timelines):
#^https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/item/f8ac991d-b64b-4290-be69-28feb51ba2a7
I have described the image twice. In the post itself, there is a long description of 60,000+ characters, including all necessary explanations to understand the image and the description, and including transcripts of all texts:- "Patefacio radix" (+ explanation that it is Latin for "open source")
- MMXI (+ explanation that it is the Roman number 2011 and, in the long description, what it stands for)
- "Universal"
- "Campus"
- various room numbers
- the numbers 1 to 10 on circular markers on a map
- "This is currrent (sic) location"
- "1: Main Landing Zone"
- "2: Main Building Lobby"
- "3: Main Conference Hall"
- "4: Recreation and Conference Center"
- "5: Observation Deck and Sea Lab"
- "6: Science Lab and Conference Room"
- "7: Campfire and Beach Zone"
- "8: The Light House"
- "9: Engineering Conference Center"
- "10: Helicopter Landing Pad"
- "click to select location then right click and teleport!"
- "Teleport"
- "AVATARS"
- the capital letter "C"
- "To download a free copy of the Universal Campus Var Region."
- "Click here for notecard"
In the alt-text which is exactly 1,500 characters long, there is a short image description of a bit over 1,400 characters which does not contain any text transcripts. That's because it doesn't have enough room for all these transcripts plus visual descriptions of where each one of all these bits of text is.
If it's a hard requirement to add all these text transcripts into the alt-text and, of course, describe where they are (because they'd be useless otherwise), then I can no longer post any images with text anywhere in them. And I probably have to delete all my image posts that do contain text and hope that they will be deleted from everywhere on Mastodon and Pixelfed as well.

Today I build a tool (using ChatGPT) to help determine how often people speak in Zoom meetings. If you have a transcript, you can drop it in here and see how often and where people speak. It also cleans up the formatting so it is easier to read.

What we’re covering here
• Maxwell transcript: The Justice Department has released a transcript of the interview that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche conducted with Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. You can read the full transcript here.
• Terms of the interview: The Justice Department gave Maxwell limited immunity so that she could discuss her criminal case but did not promise any other benefits in exchange for her testimony, according to the transcript.
• Trump and Epstein: In the transcript, Maxwell said she never witnessed anything untoward in Donald Trump’s friendship with Epstein and never heard of any allegations that he acted inappropriately. Shortly before the release, Trump told reporters that he supported transparency in the case.
• Records transfer: Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee has received the first batch of records related to Epstein from the Justice Department, and it contains “thousands of pages of documents,” a spokesperson said this afternoon.

We are recapping the key findings from the released 337-page transcript of the interview that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche conducted with Ghislaine Maxwell last month.
Here’s the latest batch of updates:
No client list: Maxwell said there is no Epstein client list, and gave an explanation, which seemed to confuse Blanche.
Birthday book: She referred to her notes as she tried to recount different financial clients that Epstein kept. When Blanche asked about the notes, Maxwell’s attorney responded, “not the birthday book,” appearing to crack a joke about a reported collection of letters Maxwell had compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday that included one bearing Donald Trump’s name. Trump has repeatedly denied writing the letter and sued The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the letter, for defamation.
Bizarre exchange: Maxwell acknowledged that Epstein preferred younger women, of legal age, but said he liked them not because of anything sexual but because they were “invigorating” and “up to date on music” and brought new “ideas” to the table.
Bill Clinton: Maxwell said to her knowledge that the former president never received a massage while in her presence and never went to Epstein’s private island.
Admiring Trump: Maxwell complimented Trump for “his extraordinary achievement” of becoming president. She said she only visited Mar-a-Lago once or twice, for an event, alone. Epstein, who she described to be in closer touch with Trump than her, visited separately.
Meanwhile, in the present-day Trump world: The president’s team discussed releasing the audio and transcripts for several weeks, officials familiar with the matter told CNN. Many in the administration argued against resurfacing the Epstein story, but others insisted that releasing the material would help them better control the narrative.

@Erik :heart_agender: @Roknrol What if I transcribe text within my image (for any definition of "text within my image") in a long image description in the post itself which I write in addition to the actual alt-text? And the alt-text explicitly mentions the long description at its end? E.g. "A more detailed description including explanations and text transcripts can be found in the post."
I often have so many bits of text to transcribe (in addition to describing where in the image they are) that I can't fit them all into the 1,500-character limit for alt-texts that Mastodon, Misskey and their respective forks impose on the whole Fediverse.
I'm not talking about screenshots from social media or something. I'm talking about renderings from 3-D virtual worlds where there may be 20, 30, 40 or more bits of text strewn across the scenery within the borders of the image. The rule says that all text within an image must be transcribed 100% verbatim, and it doesn't explicitly mention any exception, so I do have to transcribe them all. In addition, if they aren't in English, I must additionally translate them as literally as possible. There's no way I can fit all this plus a sufficiently detailed and accurate visual description into 1,500 characters.
But if you (or others) insist that all text within an image must be transcribed verbatim in the alt-text, and if you sanction image posts that transcribe the texts in the image elsewhere than in the alt-text, then I simply won't be able to post certain images in an appropriate way.
