What’s the purpose of the transcription services? I’m confused on that. You didn’t talk about that in the video. If it’s for translating the quotes into other languages, I would think that any of the AI tools we use when inputting the podcast transcript would work perfectly for this.
All podcast isn’t on YouTube where you can get the transcript. The transcription services takes the audio from the podcast and turns it into a text doc. Then you take the text doc and put it into the AI that you use in order to get the quotes that you need for the pins.

The transcription services are needed for podcasts or videos that don’t have them attached.

This is where that transcription services come in, to create the transcripts when they are not readily available.
