Apple has expanded the language capabilities of its Podcasts app, adding support for transcriptions in eight additional languages.
Users of iPhones and iPads will gradually gain access to this transcription feature in the newly supported languages. The rollout ensures broader accessibility for podcast listeners, with the latest additions including Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Finnish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Swedish. Previously transcripts were only available in English, German, Spanish, and French.
Podcasts spoken in these languages will now be easier to follow and engage with, especially for those who prefer reading along with spoken content or require text for accessibility reasons.
These transcriptions are available for any iPhone or iPad running iOS 17.4 or later, ensuring that a larger pool of users can take advantage of the updated functionality.
