Is this being done leveraging the podcast:namespace and features made available in Podcasting 2.0?

  Podcast Index LLC is a software developer focused partnership that provides tools and data to anyone who aspires to create new and exciting Podcast experiences

isn’t' it better to use more open standards [1] ?

No, I have just just used the RSS feed from podcasts. The the audio files are transcribed and processed and ingested into database.

I have not know podcasting 2.0 but will take a look.

Documentation on the <podcast:transcript> tag is here: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/m...

To see which apps currently support which Podcasting 2.0 features: https://podcastindex.org/apps (some of the apps are web apps not all that dissimilar to yours)

Thanks a lot. I see some apps with transcript support. Some of them have transcripts and some of them not. This will solve my problems of having a podcast index as I was having major issues in getting a list of podcasts to transcribe and this will help.

Maybe I can also put my app with them but need to read about it first about the compliance.
