Subtitle Edit is not primarily intended as a transcription programme, but to create subtitles for video files. However, it is a simple way to produce transcriptions with time codes.

Aegisub is a free, cross-platform open source tool for creating and modifying subtitles.
Aegisub makes it quick and easy to time subtitles on audio, including a built-in real-time video preview.
The program does not appear to be intended for playing video and audio at the same time. It is warned that it is not a media player.
So it might be better to transcribe with audio.
You can play the relevant track with subtitles and picture separately.
When you are done, you should save the subtitle file as an srt file.
Not with “save as” but with export and then choose SubRip (*. srt)
Easy transcribing with the web version of oTranscribe
Disadvantage is that there are no automatic time codes added to the transcription.
oTranscribe is a simple, lightweight website that simplifies the process of manual transcription. It combines a straightforward Google Docs-like text editor with a simple media player that uses hotkeys for play/pause/forward/reverse. You can load your own audio and video files, or use a video from YouTube.
The online tool does not store data on their own servers, but uses your own browser storage. This is good for privacy, but bad for reliability: back up your transcription about every 10 minutes.
For Google Chrome there is an oTranscribe app

Like Subtitle Edit, ELAN was not developed with transcription (only) in mind. It was created as a more general linguistic annotation tool. These annotations can be anything the user wants: they can be codes, key moments, memos, but also transcriptions.
Transcribing with ELAN is a lot of work compared to classical transcription, but the main advantage of using ELAN is that it allows word-by-word transcription. It also makes multi-layer transcription possible. In ELAN you can create so-called ‘tiers’ for different speakers.
