Podcast player with speed control and transcripts
Subscriptions pile up faster than listening time. Otoha handles RSS feeds and speed control, and for foreign-language shows it adds subtitles for close listening. One player, two listening modes.
RSS and speed control are free. Episodes download only when you play them.
From subscription to double speed
Skim the news shows fast, study the language shows slow.
- 01
Subscribe by RSS
Paste a podcast's RSS URL. The episode list loads first; audio downloads only when you play an episode.
- 02
Speed through
Take talk shows at 1.5x or 2x. Pitch stays natural, so voices remain clear.
- 03
Study with subtitles
For language learning, on-device transcription adds sentence-aligned subtitles. Slow down and loop the hard parts.
The details that matter
On-demand download
Subscribing fetches only the feed. Audio arrives when you press play, keeping storage under control.
True speed on lock screen
The lock screen reports the real playback rate, so the progress bar never drifts.
How do I subscribe to a podcast by RSS?+
Copy the podcast's RSS link and paste it into Otoha. The feed loads immediately; each episode's audio downloads only when you play it.
Does 2x speed make voices sound odd?+
No. Speed changes keep the original pitch, adjustable continuously from 0.5x to 3x.
Can I get subtitles for a foreign-language podcast?+
Yes. On-device transcription generates sentence-level subtitles locally, which pairs well with slow playback and A-B loops.
