I have a question. I have a podcast that have transcripts.

https://pca.st/episode/774bbde4-05ea-449f-92a3-0db9a5d1740e

But I can see them in PocketCast. If you take a look at the Shownotes the podcast author provides the transcripts in two different file formats:

• http://freakshow.fm/fs282-antik-tok?podlove_template_page=episode-transcript-html
• http://freakshow.fm/fs282-antik-tok?podlove_transcript=webvtt

Where can I find the transcripts when running the episode?

@BKrnk1337 do you have access to the latest TestFlight? if so you should be able to see the icon in the Shelf

Jep. Running 7.72.0.0 - freshly installed 45 minutes ago.

@BKrnk1337 let me try that podcast on the same version

@BKrnk1337 do you see the transcript button inside the player?

No. Even not in the "more action" section

[danielebogo]

@SergioEstevao I can't see it. Could the FF be replaced by the remote config?

[SergioEstevao]

@BKrnk1337 we found the issue, we are going to activate it correctly on our remote config, you should see it soon!

Can you give me a ping when I should try?

[SergioEstevao]

@BKrnk1337 Can you try now? It should be set for everyone at this moment.

Unfortunately not. I even select another episode from the same podcast. And retried the download. There is no button appearing.

[danielebogo]

@BKrnk1337 can you try to close the app and restart?

I did it. Now I see the button (even in a podcast without transcripts)

But in the podcast I can see the transcripts. Should the transcripts be up to date with the at the moment audio? If yes - it is not.

Unfortunately the button now is stealing a place from the toolbar. Can you add the option to have six icons down there?

This was a design option, you can still customise it and remove it from the toolbar.
At the moment we are not planning to allow an extra button on the toolbar, but we will act depending on the feedback we receive so we will keep that in mind.

@BKrnk1337 we don't provide audio/text sync for transcripts yet

[BKrnk1337]

Thank you for the quick help and clarification. A last question: can I adjust the textsize just for the transcripts?

Great work pocketcast team :)

[danielebogo]

@BKrnk1337 no problem!

can I adjust the textsize just for the transcripts?

Unfortunately no (@SergioEstevao correct me if I'm wrong). But it's a good feedback!!

[SergioEstevao]

can I adjust the textsize just for the transcripts?

You cannot adjust directly on the app, but the transcripts view will adapt it's font size depending on the device font size you set on Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Text Size

Ok. Would be a feature request from me. :)
