I actually just finished making a service that does something similar, but it also transforms the transcripts to make them into polished written documents with complete sentences and nice markdown formatting. It also can generate interactive multiple choice quizzes. And it supports editing of the markdown files with revision history and one click hosting.
I'm still doing the last testing of the site, but might as well share it here since it's so relevant:

There might still be a few rough edges, so keep that in mind!
The pricing is confusingly giving counts of videos of short length, rather than time per price.
The vodcasts that most need transcription are long form. After the "don't make me do math" pricing, you do have a table of minutes, up to 60, so for a typical, say, ContraPoints vodcast episode, you multiply by 3, and find out that could cost $30 to turn into the optimized transcript. (Which the creator might well pay for if they value their time, but viewers might not.)
