Thank you for the useful information. I think that many people use such services. I work with video and audio materials. But sometimes I don’t have time to listen to everything and translate, for example, an interview into text format. In such cases, I use a video transcription service https://www.typingservice.org/services/audio-and-video-transcription-service/ and it saves me a lot of time. I receive finished work quickly and in good quality.
Hi, I ran accidentally to your podcast and I just want to let you know, you inspired me today❤️🙏
