There’s no transcript 😢. I don’t hear as good as I used to and found this lady very hard to understand.

Hello, Thanks for your comment. We have just checked and there are uploaded edited subtitles on this video. (Uploaded back in June 2022) Have you been able to turn them on by toggling the icon at the bottom right of the video screen? (Second icon in from the centre?) The transcript (accessed via the 3 dots) is fed by the subtitles. We can't copy the subtitles in to the video description as unfortunately there is a character limit of 5000. We try hard to have accurate subtitles on all of our videos. Please feel free to email [e-mail] to discuss if you would like to. We're very sorry you have experienced these difficulties.
