Tools to help transcribing

For the episode 3 transcript, I've been using oTranscribe. It works pretty well!
Here's what I did:
- Download the recording
- Copy and paste the transcript (the rendered Markdown, not the source) into the document on the oTranscribe website.
- Click "Choose an audio or video file" and upload the podcast audio.
Let me know if anything is unclear. Happy transcribing!
The first step is to convert the audio into a video that YouTube will accept, which is quick an easy to do with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -framerate 1/5 -i E1.jpg -i why-podcast.mp3 -c:a copy -c:v libx264 why-podcast.mp4
The result isn't really a useful video, but it processes real quick and does produce captions, which seem better than nothing.

Please leave a timestamp at the start and end of every chunk you transcribe so that other transcribers know where to start. Please don't edit out timestamps so that listeners have an easier time finding that bit of the episode. We do have a list of potentially useful transcription tools.
