I really want to work in the transcript in a way that's not possible. Being able to highlight (or add sticky notes) would help me a lot.

When I work in a competitor product like Descript, I can highlight or make notes in the transcript so that when I’m working on a long project (say, a podcast with 100 middle schoolers), I can run through the transcript and make a plan that’s easy to see/change. Even with more normal projects with just two speakers, being able to highlight is a necessary feature for me.
