To me, most of the benefits of async communication go out the window when you require me to listen (or watch) it as if it were synchronous.

Putting in some effort on the sending side to express your thoughts as text makes things a lot more flexible for the receiver, and pays off big when you want more than one person to consume it.

The product provides searchable transcriptions.

It's the second heading, right at the top when you click the link - "Cut down on meetings & calls with voice messages, searchable transcriptions & async screen sharing"

Ah, cool, assuming the transcriptions are high quality. I was speaking more generally, not about this specific product, but it's nice that they see the value in text as well.
