I've been looking into podcast transcription services, but I haven't really found a service build using similar APIs like this. Can anyone shed some light on the transcription business, is the transcription quality not yet good enough or why don't we see many of these services?

HN might be DDOSing you at the moment. Perhaps consider putting Cloudflare or similar in front of your landing page?

Microsoft and Google both have something similar. The problem is that it's IMO really not good enough for most purposes. One of these days I'll give it another try but, unless I'm just looking for a very rough cut of a talk or whatever, I would need to spend way too much time to cleanup.
