iOS 17.4 update: Apple introduces transcripts for Apple Podcasts app. Here's how the new feature works

After a month of beta testing, Apple has finally released its iOS 17.4 and iPadOS 17.4 update bringing in tons of features like new emojis, support for third-party app store support and the ability to select your default browser. Along with the new update, Apple has also added a new transcription feature for the Apple Podcasts app that is touted to significantly improve the podcast listening experience. While explaining the need behind this feature, Apple said, “With transcripts, users can read the full text of an episode, search the episode for a specific word or phrase, and tap on the text to play the podcast from that point in the episode. Transcripts are now available in over 170 countries with iOS 17.4 and iPadOS 17.4 update and are currently accessible only for English, French, Spanish and German language podcasts.
