    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

      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.
