As I listened to a BLINK as a 7 book at a time guy. I was sold, it was sort of like talking to an intresting friend, about what they have learnt from something. Loads of stimulating ideas. I just have to put my mony up now and have my empty 5mins during the day filled with real brain tickling.

Do you have a budget? If so, there's this tool I've worked with called Sonix that generates transcripts of what you feed into it. It's not super accurate, but it's good enough. One of the features is that you can "highlight" chunks of text, and have it spit out an XML that will have a sequence containing only the highlighted text. Source: over 1 year ago
Sonix was the one I used because it had 30 free minutes and the video was only 10-11 minutes long. It seems to have done a really decent job, but not sure if that's because the source audio is pretty clear. Source: over 1 year ago

I am struggling with this as well, but one good tool for me has been sonix.ai, which can transcribe pretty well (posted a little while ago about it). Source: about 2 years ago
