+1 that the transcript is rough. Unfortunately it’s just pretty expensive to create one that’s decent to read—for $1.50/min (so like $95 for this episode) you can get an OK transcript from rev.com within 24 hours, and then if you want to actually eliminate typos, you just have to go over it yourself.
I’d also encourage you to not use the descript feature that cuts out all ums and ahs—it just makes it sound super disjointed (especially when watching the video).
I use filler a lot so thought the um/ah removal was helpful (it actually cut down the recording by something like 10 minutes overall). It’s especially good for making the transcript readable, though perhaps I could just edit the transcript without changing the audio/video.
I think I care about the video being easier to watch more than I care about missing the ums and ahs? But maybe I’m not appreciating how much umming you do.

Ah interesting, thanks for the tips.
