LangScribe vs Pier

From podcast to vocabulary list: subscribe to a public podcast RSS feed in LangScribe, transcribe and translate an episode, then follow along with bilingual subtitles line by line. Pier turns a Nextcloud, NAS, SFTP or NFS folder into a normal Windows drive letter, with a block cache, resumable transfers and an offline mode, so every Windows program can open the files. Both are listed in Productivity.
