Ask HN: How do you take notes of interesting ideas while podcasting
If I'm on the go on my phone, I take a screenshot of my locked screen that shows my audio player, and then later on I know which podcasts and moments had important ideas. If I'm doing active listening, i.e. Listening to a podcast or watching a talk and actively taking notes, then I use https://sidenote.me For example: https://sidenote.me/note/0gcKho/nailing-your-first-launch-adam-wathan-microconf-starter-2018. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

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
