If you're an avid user of the Podcasts app on your Mac, and you missed macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 and macOS Sonoma 14.4, you might want to install macOS Sonoma 14.5 right now.
With macOS Sonoma 14.4.1/macOS Sonoma 14.4 on board your Mac, the app can auto-generate transcripts which can be viewed within the app itself. These transcripts let you follow an episode with text that highlights in sync with audio in English, Spanish, French and German. We suspect we'll see more languages added down the road. The text from a podcast episode can be read in full, searched for a word or phrase, and tapped to play from a specific point.
It can also used with accessibility features such as Text Size, Increase Contrast, and VoiceOver. |

I have a 2019 27″ iMAC with an i5 processor- not cutting edge but hey. Sonoma 14.4 gives me new problems: 1). If I put a windows App on full screen the top of the pages dissapears behind the Apple conterol bar such that I can no longer access the windows tabs. 2). Also If I (Command Shift 4) to copy a screen image to e.g. paste into eMail then the dreaded spinning spectrum of hung system comes up every time. Not impressed with the new Op-system so far!
