Supporting transcripts is great for accessibility. Auto-generating them is not great however. Automatically generated transcripts frequently make mistakes and allow texts to be scraped which podcasts may not want. Plus some podcasts discuss sensative and dangerous material that if people saw the wrong transcript for could cause harm. I think this should be opt-in, not automatic
