   Me, encountering literally any podcast recommendation:

   "This sounds really interesting. I'd sure like to read a transcript of it instead of listening to it."

     @peterb I want a podcast playback app with 1.3x speed, silence elimination. And... removal of all the "ums and aws", irrelevant personal tangents, stupid jokes, and podcast bros laughing at each other's jokes.
     The average gaming podcast would go from 80 minutes to 15.

     @nelson @peterb The first two already exists. The rest could exist by implementing the Sponsorblock API, and getting enough people to tag the segments correctly.

     @peterb
     Fair enough, I sometimes have the same thought, and if I ever do a podcast I'd want to provide edited transcripts for anyone who feels that way. But I really appreciate a good podcast when I'm cooking or doing other routine chores that occupy my body - preventing reading - but not much of my mind. Good for walking familiar boring routes too. I tried to listen while cycling, but quickly realized that safe city cycling requires full concentration and listening out for approaching hazards.

     @peterb if you're too busy doing chores to read it all, maybe someone could read aloud the transcripts to you.

     whisper

     https://github.com/openai/whisper

     whisper --model tiny --language en audio.wav

     produces 3 files, srt, vtt and txt

     Players like mpv will use them as subtitles when playing the audio/video
