In my research, Descript is unmatched

🙏

I should give an honorable mention for SimonSays.ai which I used extensively to tag FCPX clips with dialogue on my last movie

google speech to text has some free usage but my results have been mixed

Probably not ideal, but the only thing I can think of is to upload it as a YouTube video, turn on auto-subtitles, then copy-paste the subtitles.

This is one of many how to guides for copying YouTube transcript: https://www.rev.com/blog/resources/how-to-download-youtube-subtitles-as-text-files

This should cover it. A few good options mentioned here
