As an aid to the scribe, a recording could be helpful after the fact
to repair minutes.

But if a full recording is offered to the public it is only equitable
to offer a full transcript for people who do not have the option to
listen.

If you're deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind you'll be locked out of
full content. The guidance therefore, according to the Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines, is to provide a transcript.
