Chapterize is a complete post-production toolkit for podcasters. Add chapters, generate transcripts, export video, and keep an eye on your shows, all in one app that runs natively on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
CHAPTERS

Recently featured as ‘pick of the week’ on MacBreak Weekly episode #1009. Works as advertised. Offers on device transcription, but lacks export of transcription as txt or srt. You need to buy another $19.99 app from the developer. Would have been 5 stars with this inclusion of transcription export. Which I will not buy.
iCloud sync is now more dependable and a subtle change was made to metadata tags to improve compatibility with other apps.
