Main reason I never do them, yes: it's a massive editing project. I've noticed though that a lot of people dump the unedited bot-completed transcript and consider the matter finished, or even use bot-transcribed quotes in their writing that include all the "likes" and repetitions and awkward syntax.

Yeah what’s the point of unedited? Someone suggested to me that I could train AI to edit the transcript, which may speed it up. Will have to experiment

I don’t know if the “Transcript” section on a Substack podcast post is always unedited, but I find them very useful, hesitations and all. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good!
