Podlove Web Player 4.0.7
Features
Transcripts (Beta)
Transcripts is one of the features that has been in development for more than 8 months and challenged us in terms of usability and implementation. Besides a direct mapping to the time axis and a search function. Even though we still work on a high-performance realization for marathon podcasts.
CDN
The current version of the player is now also available directly via cdn.podlove.org. This allows us to quickly provide fixes and new features.
