How long does it take to caption/transcribe videos with a desktop solution (and which would you recommend)

Good morning

People I work with need to caption and transcribe internal videos and
the security policy does not allow them to use a vendor or outside
services (like YouTube).
One option would be the Live Transcribe feature in Chrome but the
corporate version has not beeen updated to Chrome 84 yet.
I think there is a desktop application that many people recommend
(that uses Speech Recognition to automate the first draft fairly
accurately), but I have to do some extensive searching to find out
which.

If anyone here has done a lot of this work and has a setup
recommendation, both for the tool to use and an estimate how long it
would take to transcribe a medium complexity video (clear English
speech, with some onscreen text), that would be super valuable.
Again, this would have to be a desktop app, no server/vendor solutions.
Thanks, as always
