Trint[0] has a wonderful UI/UX for exactly this. I'm not sure if they're using the latest & greatest ML models, but even years ago I was pretty blown away. I still am. It's one of the most "right" products I've seen in this generation of web development. Someone realllllllly cared about the details of UX.

Some of that only comes across when you actually use it - when you clean up the transcription immediately after the meeting or the next day. Clicking a mistake word to edit it snaps the video and audio to that point, so its super intuitive to "scrub" through the video just by clicking around the text transcription. Very fast, very natural, very low effort.

I can only imagine how much it will be improved if it used google's newest multi-speaker transcription models. It always had some trouble whenever people started talking at the same time.

At $60 per user per month?
Yeah it's way too expensive. I decided that it probably technically is net positive for organizations with a heavy billable hours situation (contract engineering shops) because it can easily save more than $60/mo per person of time/accuracy.

That doesn't mean I was willing to pay $60/mo/pp though, and ended up not.

However, I still think it's the best product in its category right now and given the disappointing state of product design these days, I don't expect anyone to catch up to its interface. I'd love if an open-source group did though.
