I use the youtube trick, will share it here, but upload to youtube and use their built in transcription service to translate to text for you, and than use gemini pro 2.5 to rebuild the transcript.

ffmpeg \ -f lavfi \ -i color=c=black:s=1920x1080:r=5 \ -i file_you_want_transcripted.wav \ -c:v libx264 \ -preset medium \ -tune stillimage \ -crf 28 \ -c:a aac \ -b:a 192k \ -pix_fmt yuv420p \ -shortest \ file_you_upload_to_youtube_for_free_transcripts.mp4

This works VERY well for my needs.
