Transcription is a recent addition to the stack, and it comes in handy when you want to report an interview, create subtitles for a video or when you need a word-for-word report of a meeting, one with legal implications, for instance.

I am quite happy with the speech-to-text options that the Microsoft365 suite provides, such as Dictation and Transcription.
