I don't know if there's a way to get those things into an easy to read format? Clicking select all and pasting to the text editor sort of works but could be better.
you can increase playback speed. 1.1..1.25x speed is usually OK in terms of ability to understand the speech while saving several percent in time. Sure, the transcript would probably require significantly less time to read and is my usual preferred way to consume content, but when none is available the faster playback allows for saving at least a fraction of time.
