Why transcribe video to text?
What is said in a video is hard to search or skim. Here's what changes when it becomes text.
Make your videos readable
A transcript gives you the spoken words in a form you can read, search and reuse.
- More accessible. Help viewers who are deaf, hard of hearing or watching without sound.
- Easier to find. Publish transcripts so search engines can read what your video covers.
- Ready to reuse. Turn talks and tutorials into articles, notes and posts.
What is video transcription?
Video transcription takes the speech from a video's soundtrack and writes it out as text. Clear sound with little background noise gives the best results, so check names and technical terms before you publish.
