Is there a podcast-text prompter?

Weird, I know, I'm the opposite of a lot of people. I have issues processing long-form information over audio; but can pour over giant tomes joyfully and reread what I need.

If not, I feel like that should be something.

I feel the exact same way, always lose my excitement to learn new things when somebody tells me to listen about it on some podcast, huge turnoff

don't think there is, but I'm with you, I generally prefer reading to watching/listening to stuff

There must be halfway-decent open source transcription software by now, but I don’t know them.

A few videogrophers & podcasters also have their works transcribed (Matt Taibbi, for one). Some (many? most?) YouTube videos have an auto-generated transcript.

OpenAI's Whisper is supposedly good but I never had the need to try it out: https://github.com/openai/whisper

Apple podcasts on iPhones, iPads and Mac computers has transcripts that are shockingly good even for highly technical jargon and unusual names. Unfortunately no way to access it outside of Apple devices and no way to copy it as they're concerned about copyright.

Otherwise I'd try whisper.
