I am disappointed and my day is ruined
There is Dictation.io as well that runs speech-to-text in a bunch of different languages. Maybe you can check it out? Source: almost 2 years ago
Guys, please help !!! The best way to type Malayalam in laptop.
You can install google input tool's chrome extension, select malayalam language and assign a keyboard shortcut to activate it everytime you need it. There's also dictation.io, which is a nice speech to text tool I use quite often. Source: over 2 years ago
Is there Windows software that uses Google speech to text in any text field (not just browser)
I've temporarily lost the use of my hand. So I am looking at alternative way to type, this was typed using speechnotes, but it is a pop-up that you have to copy and paste things out of, which is more clicking than I'd like. Same for dictation.io (which is also good). Win-H (Cortana) does what I want, but says 'listening' and half the time doesn't type anything and then deletes the input if you hesitate too long...

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: 12 months ago
looking for video editor that auto cuts conversations
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

Video snippit of your episode text animation recommendations
Looks like an 'audiogram' from descript.com - you can make them on their paid service. Source: almost 2 years ago
