I'm not sure if you can get the full text, which is both a problem and
probably also a feature designed by the podzinger folks -- as there
may be copyright problems in providing a full text transcript.

But it does offer a tantalizing thought about podcast accessibility.
Perhaps if there were a way that podcasts could specifically (via RSS
and license markup?) allow for third-party transcription, this would
be useful?

Of course, machine-generated transcripts will often suck. But they
are a start and some transcription is better than none, usually.
