Sorry, I know nothing about PodScripts. For the AI transcript, we do a speech recognition and turn the whole audio to the text. AFAIK, podcast owner often provide show notes, not the whole text version for their show.

And your are right, the red icon indicate that the episode has already been transcribed by AI, you can see the text version of it.

I mentioned this in another comment, but I think it bears repeating since you mentioned "FAIK, podcast owner often provide show notes, not the whole text version for their show." -- take a look at the podcasting 2.0 specs, they absolutely do provide transcripts to whole shows.

It's an open source standard which includes transcripts, chapter art, and a bunch of other added functionality which is being driven by Adam Currey, who is known for the original creation of podcasting, was an MTV VJ who ran mtv.com before MTV realized there was value there, and now hosts the No Agenda podcast.

I have a feeling you will find some value in the standards, given that the transcript format/metadata is already established.
