Podcast Transcription with Amazon Transcribe

For reference, here is an example of the end product of a (in my opinion) very good transcription service: https://www.grc.com/sn/sn-645.txt

I do not know how much Elaine (who makes those transcriptions) costs, but of course it's going to be more than Amazon Transcribe's cost. What I wonder is, what would be the cost to take the output of Amazon Transcribe, and fix/format it into something like what I linked?

Regardless, one thing that (I think) is important, is that having at least the output of Amazon Transcribe (or something similar) will make it easier for people to find something that was said in your podcast. At least, until Google/etc. start transcribing audio they find, and indexing that…

I’m surprised they don’t already. The ECM at the company I used to work for transcribed video and audio files to make their content searchable.

Youtube already offers auto-generated subtitles. It's likely that the content of those transcriptions are part of the search index for the video.

Very true, but I’ve found no way to search a video and jump to the section that matches what I’m after.

It’s especially useful for long talks, etc.
