Spotify is taking the first step towards making transcripts available for the podcasts on its service. The company announced this morning it’s soon launching a limited beta that will introduce automatic transcripts for its own Spotify Exclusive and Original shows, with the larger goal of enabling transcripts across all podcasts published to its platform in the future. The company also introduced a handful of other accessibility improvements alongside the announcement, including readability features and options for text resizing.

The new transcripts feature will automatically generate transcripts for Spotify’s own shows, allowing users to read the text of the podcast on their iOS or Android device, either with or without sound.
