Add to this... I would like to be able to translate the captions into a language of my choice.

Chris Hobcroft: Love this. Looks like Whisper can do 99 languages, but it's hit or miss for a lot of them. Starting with a subset of commonly spoken languages (e.g., English, Hindi, Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Farsi, Urdu) might be a reasonable option
