how do you handle your podcasts transcription and timestamps
For transcripts, I use Descript. Descript is able to identify all four of our panel members, and I usually spend an hour or so cleaning it up and setting the transcript into a video for YouTube. Source: about 1 year ago

I don't understand exactly what you are trying to do, but I'm pretty sure Descript can do what you want. Source: about 1 year ago
What is your preferred way to make a voice-over?
I tried to use descript.com but found out that they didn't have a download for Linux and that their online version doesn't allow you to edit your transcript. Source: over 1 year ago
