Device, System, and Method of Generating and Playing Navigatable Podcasts

Abstract:

Devices, systems, and methods of generating and playing navigatable podcasts. A method includes: receiving an audio recording of a podcast; performing automatic speech recognition of the audio recording of the podcast, to generate a textual transcript of the podcast; detecting vocal cues in the textual transcript of the podcast, wherein each detected vocal cue indicates a beginning of a new in-podcast topic of the podcast; automatically generating for the podcast a table of content having a list of in-podcast topics. An end-user device then displays the table of content of the podcast during its playback, and enables to skip or navigate among the displayed in-podcast topics.
