HOW TO TRANSCRIBE YOUTUBE VIDEOS INTO TEXT (0:28)
Note: for clearer direction, please make sure to reference either my video or my blog post in supplement to the steps below.
1.) Download/Edit Automatic Transcription Already Provided by YouTube (0:33)
Go to “YouTube Studio”.
Click on “Transcriptions” on the left.
Click on the “Languages” drop down on one of your videos and then click “Published Automatic” under the “Subtitles” section.
Here you are able to edit or even download the file.
2.) Utilizing Google Docs to Transcribe Videos (2:02)
First go to “Tools” and then “Voice typing” within a new Google doc.
Next click on the microphone icon and when the popup appears, click “Allow” to let Google Docs use your computer’s microphone (I recommend doing this in Google Chrome).
Play your video first and then hit the microphone button immediately after to start the transcription process. It helps to do this in two separate windows.
To upload your finished transcription go to “YouTube Studio” then “Videos”. Click on the video you want to edit to get into the settings.
Then click on “Advanced” and then “Transcriptions”.
Once there, click “Add Language” and then “English”.
Then select “ADD” under the subtitles section.
Next select “Transcribe and auto-sync” and paste in the transcription that you created from the Google Doc (again make sure to spot check/edit this first for accuracy)
Lastly, hit “Set Timings” and give YouTube 10-15 minutes to complete this process.
Make sure the timings line up and if so, hit “Publish”!
Another note is to make sure to “Unpublish” the automatic subtitles provided by YouTube.
3.) Manually Transcribing YouTube Videos Yourself (4:53)
This step is as simple as putting headphones on (not required), playing your video and typing out your own transcription manually as you listen. You can do this in a Word doc, Google doc, notepad file etc. This is a good way to ensure 100% accuracy but it is more time consuming.
4.) Outsource Video Transcriptions to a Service Like Rev.com (My Personal Recommendation) (5:51)
First go to Rev.com (use my link here: https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-10048448...) and create an account.
Next select “Place New Order” and then “Transcription”.
Then simply select the “Paste a URL” button and paste your YouTube link.
Next complete the checkout process and Rev.com generally finishes your order within 24 hours (many times sooner).
Once the order is complete, you will receive an email. Select “View and Edit Transcript” within the email.
Now you’ll be able to access, edit (if necessary) and download your order.
You will want to spot check this first to make sure all is accurate.
Next all you have to do is paste your transcript in the “Transcribe and auto-sync” section within your YouTube account for this video (If you forgot how to get to this spot within your YouTube video, please follow the steps above under “Utilizing Google Docs to Transcribe Videos”).
And then hit “Set timings”
Give YouTube 10-15 minutes to complete this process.
Now you’re ready to check the timings for yourself and if all looks good, hit publish!
Lastly make sure to locate the automatic subtitles provided by YouTube and hit “Unpublish”.
