Apple Has Acquired Podcast Search Company Pop Up Archive [Report]

Apple has acquired Pop Up Archive, a platform providing tools to transcribe, organize, and search audio files, reports Nicholas Quah in his latest Hot Pod newsletter about podcasts. The company's podcast search engine Audiosear.ch wound down operations on November 28th.

Since being founded in 2012, Pop Up Archive has received investments and grants from Bloomberg Beta, 500 Startups, and the Knight Foundation, and others. Apple appears to have confirmed its acquisition with the typical statement: "Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans."

With the technology from Pop Up Archive, Apple could improve the knowability and sortability of the podcasts it distributes.
