Where they differ
In short
- Audioscrape recognizes a voice it has named once in later episodes. PodData keeps no voice prints and never matches a voice from one episode to another.
- PodData matches trackers by meaning from one sentence, and sends each quote with its page to cite (in pilot).
- PodData follows a named list of shows, with its date, rather than an index of every feed.
