Everyone has given good ideas on this. I’ll go ahead and throw in Youtube. It’s gotten a lot better, you can add them privately to your account and you can export various types of caption files.

In my own (admittedly minor) tinkering, I've been surprised at how good the transcript is. Microsoft has a 90 second tutorial here: < https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Foffice%2Ftranscribe-your-recordings-7fc2efec-245e-45f0-b053-2a97531ecf57&data=05%7C01%7Cicoll%40UIC.EDU%7C350fd6dd012149735a6808dab38f7870%7Ce202cd477a564baa99e3e3b71a7c77dd%7C0%7C0%7C638019726487151950%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Wi%2BPk5mf1ktjSI1tgqk%2FTv40TMFP7fVXRZov6bI7TN0%3D&reserved=0 >. If you're handy with AWS, you can also use Amazon Transcribe ( https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faws.amazon.com%2Ftranscribe%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cicoll%40UIC.EDU%7C350fd6dd012149735a6808dab38f7870%7Ce202cd477a564baa99e3e3b71a7c77dd%7C0%7C0%7C638019726487151950%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=frKDtIF5xMbqsIopPPmQggYYcklZwPAJPii6mrJJvpM%3D&reserved=0), but that is much more involved. I have no experience myself, though some colleagues have had success with larger projects there.
