How to transcribe a YouTube video to text
A YouTube transcript helps turn a video into an article, notes, description, subtitles, or learning material faster.
1. Copy the video link
Open the YouTube video and copy its URL. The video must be accessible for processing by link.
2. Choose the speech language
If you know the language, select it manually. For quick jobs, automatic detection can be used.
3. Run transcription
The service creates a text version of the speech. For long videos, timecodes are useful too.
4. Reuse the result
Turn the text into an article, YouTube description, post, summary, course material, or subtitle file.
