Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tapesearch?
Tapesearch is a search engine to quickly search podcast transcripts. Find what was said in a podcast and go straight to that point in a recording without having to listen to hours of audio.
What podcasts are included?
Currently, the most popular podcasts based on the number of iTunes ratings are included (not the rating itself). The long-term aim is to include as many podcasts as possible.
Where does the transcription model make errors?
Generally, the AI is very good at transcribing, but you might find small errors with people's names, fast speech, and when people are talking over music. Long periods of silence and/or music can also introduce errors in the timestamps which can cumulate over long recordings.
