Feature - add the possibility to download transcript (with or without timestamps) and add it into the RSS

Hi,
I would be interested to enrich the RSS generated out of podsync to include the whole transcript (not a translation) of the video.

I have identified following hurdles:

• all information I found so far was on extracting subtitles - I understand the relationship between transcript and subtitles, but in case there are multiple languages, the transcript is in the "original" language of the video, so not necessarily in a fixed language - and I'd really be interested in that original language, not in a translation of a transcript
• I'd prefer to have it without the timestamps, but it doesn't look like there is a toggle like in the Youtube UI for this, but some have been playing with regex to remove them
• the RSS specification has only one long text field if I am correct, and it is used by podsync to capture the video description (which is good), so this would require a custom RSS field, which is allowed in the RSS spec if I'm correct

Based on the above, I could imagine this whole feature, plus the language (if there is no other way than to specify a language), plus the timestamps toggle, to be managed as settings in podsync's config.toml file.

There is a standard for podcast transcripts: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/main/docs/tags/transcript.md But it requires a link to the transcript.
