+## Transcripts for podcasts and audiobooks
+The lyrics screen shows a **Transcript** for podcast episodes and audiobooks. If the show publishes its own (Podcast 2.0 `<podcast:transcript>`: SRT, VTT or JSON) it is used
+straight away. Otherwise a **Transcribe on this server** button makes one with speech-to-text: the bundled `whisper` service in `docker-compose.yml` (faster-whisper behind an
+OpenAI-compatible API) is reached at `TRANSCRIBE_API_URL` (default `http://127.0.0.1:8000`), model `TRANSCRIBE_MODEL` (default `Systran/faster-whisper-small`, downloaded on first use).
+CPU only: about a quarter of the running time or more. One job at a time; results are kept in `/data/transcripts`. Remove the service and the variable to switch the button off.
