Transcribing Long Podcasts and Meetings with FunASR

Two recordings sat on my disk waiting to be turned into searchable text. A 4-hour 13-minute discussion from a TGO founders' group — eight speakers, Chinese, Zoom audio. A 1-hour 8-minute podcast episode (屠龙之术 Vol.94 × 知本论) where two hosts spent the whole hour dissecting OpenClaw — its positioning, the AI-agent narrative, and investors' reactions.

Both were full of specific claims, speaker-attributed opinions, and Chinese brand terms I wanted to grep later. Neither would transcribe cleanly with the tools I tried first.
