this is awesome, I have previously been looking for something like this - where I wanted to learn more about a topic/discover podcasts on this sort of thing.

when I was looking at the cost to transcribe it just didn't make sense to do it for myself.

hope this works out well!

I've wanted this product in the past and found the economics to be similarly challenging. [1] Some podcasts already put out professionally created transcriptions which is great, but I'd need to compile them in one place to figure out who said that one direct quote I remember.

Having people transcribe 5 minutes of audio/month in lieu of a subscription cost equal to 3 minutes of professional transcription was one model I had in mind.

I'm also hoping this works out well.
