Dear Deezer Team,
I would like to kindly request the addition of an **Audio Transcription feature for podcasts** on Deezer, similar to the auto-generated transcript functionality that Spotify has implemented. This feature would greatly enhance accessibility and user experience by allowing listeners to read along with podcast episodes, improving content discoverability and engagement.
Spotify’s transcription feature provides users with text versions of episodes that help with navigation, accessibility, and content searchability. It also supports toggling transcripts on or off, which offers flexibility to listeners[9]. Adding a similar feature to Deezer would align with modern podcast listening trends and meet user expectations.
Currently, Deezer does not offer transcripts or closed captions for podcasts, unlike some other platforms[8]. Implementing this feature could leverage existing speech-to-text APIs, as Deezer has experience with voice transcription technologies for commands[5], and could integrate automated transcription tools to generate episode transcripts efficiently.
This enhancement would make Deezer a more competitive and user-friendly platform for podcast fans, improving accessibility for all users, including those with hearing impairments or those who prefer reading over listening.
Thank you for considering this valuable feature request.
