Back catalog

A back catalog is a show's archive of past episodes — often hundreds of hours whose value compounds with search, transcripts and dynamic ads.

Batch transcription is what unlocks a catalog: every old episode becomes searchable text, quotable and rediscoverable, and DAI keeps monetizing it. Archive projects are the classic bulk-transcription job.
