Closed captions would be more convenient.

  Closed captions make sense for video content because there are visuals on the screen to follow along with and associate with the text. For podcasts it'll simply be like reading a long article with one sentence displayed like every 15 seconds. If your eyes are anyways on the screen you'd rather turn off the audio and read it at your own pace.

    Maybe you are doing something else like programming while listening to a podcast/audiobook?

      It's still the same problem. Are you going to look at the code you are typing or the podcast text?

  Transcripts largely exist for a different purpose than you seem to want. They're typically a human-edited version of the podcast that's searchable, skimmable, and can be easily read instead of listening to the podcast.
