Transcripts FAQs
Frequently asked questions about transcripts in Metacast.
Why is audio out of sync with the transcript for some episodes?
Some podcasts insert personalized ads (the technnical term for this is "dynamic ad insertion") depending on your location and other data. When you listen to an episode, it is possible that your ads were different from the ads served to our transcription server. When this happens, the transcripts can go out of sync with the audio. We detect the mismatch and show a warning.
We're working on solving this issue and making sure that the audio and the transcript are always in sync.
How can I share a quote from an episode?
To share a quote, swipe the transcript segment and tap the share icon. Then, you can either copy the segment or share it directly via social media or messenger apps.
How can I bookmark an interesting part of the episode?
In the player, swipe the segment left-to-right to save a bookmark.
Where can I see my bookmarks?
In the player, tap the "Bookmarks" tab to see the bookmarks you've saved for the episode. We're working on the feature to display all your bookmarks in one place.
How can I delete a bookmark?
Remember - in Metacast, everything is a swipe. Just swipe a bookmarked segment un-bookmark it or swipe it right-to-left in the Bookmarks screen and choose "Delete".
