Hi

I have a blind friend, who would love to listen (Read) podcasts.

Is there any option for them to access podcasts by changing listen to read or text?

Hey @bonnels,

Thanks for coming to the Community. 

Here’s how your friend can access podcast transcripts on Spotify, which may be helpful:

• On mobile: Play the podcast episode, open it in full screen, and scroll down. Under “About this episode,” select it and scroll down again. There should be a section called “Episode transcript.”
• On desktop: Simply play an episode, and it’ll open in the right panel of the app. Scroll down within that panel to view the transcript.

Please note that while most podcasts on Spotify offer transcripts, there are still a few podcasts and/or episodes where they might not be available. Spotify is actively working to expand access to transcripts, so hopefully this feature will continue to improve.

I hope this helps! 🙂
