Sometimes, you may need to quickly transcribe some audio notes, and you may not want to rewind. Luckily, there’s a very easy way to do that using YouTube’s automatic captioning system.
The results are not always completely accurate. However, all you need to do is skim through the text a bit and correct the errors. This will still end up saving you time that you would have otherwise spent.
Here’s how you can use YouTube to transcribe your audio notes.
Use YouTube’s Automatic Subtitle System to Copy Text
The process of using Auto Caption to transcribe text is quite simple.
Basically, all you need is the audio file you want to transcribe, an image file (it doesn’t matter what it shows), and a YouTube account. The rest of the tools can be easily found online.
First you need your audio file to become a video (at least in the eyes of YouTube). This is done the same way you upload a song to YouTube (if you want to convert a YouTube video to MP3, that’s also easy to do).
Step 1: The easiest way to do this is to use a service like TunesToTube, which will turn your audio file into a YouTube video. Therefore, go to TunesToTube And connect your YouTube account to service. If you’re not signed in to YouTube, you’ll need to sign in.
Step 2: Give TunesToTube permission to manage your YouTube account.
Step 3: Your next step is to add your audio and visual files. This is done through TunesToTube’s simple interface – click Upload files. Add any title and description you want, and you don’t have to add any tags if you don’t want to.
Note: The only important thing is that the audio is in a language that YouTube’s automatic captions feature understands. Those languages are English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
Step 3: Once you’ve browsed your files and added them to TunesToTube, don’t forget to fill in the CAPTCHA. Then you can go ahead and click Make a video!
Step 4: Wait for your video to be uploaded. Upload time depends on the size of the audio and video files, the speed of your internet connection, and last but not least, the load on YouTube’s servers at that particular time.
Then wait for your video to process – you can see if it’s finished in YouTube’s Video Manager if you’re feeling impatient.
Step 5: Once the video processing is complete, know that it will still take a while before the video is subtitled. The duration again depends on the load of the YouTube server at that time of day. I’ve tried doing this with a few videos, all of them a few minutes long. In some cases, the process takes only a few minutes, while there is a lag when the process lasts 15 minutes. It’s still fast, though.
When it’s done, you’ll see an icon (like the one shown in the screenshot) highlighted below your video, called Transcription. Click the Transliteration button.
Step 6: Now you can copy your transcription and correct the error. If the speaker speaks clearly and without too much background noise, it should be fairly accurate.
Cool Tip: If you don’t understand what YouTube has transcribed, you can simply click on that line and you’ll be taken to a specific point in the video, so you don’t have to go through it all to find the content. some.
Conclusion
If you need to quickly transcribe an audio memo, this is an easy way to do it. The results aren’t always perfect, but it can be helpful.
