How to transcribe a video online

Nowadays, more and more users create video content on a variety of topics. Many of them are very informative and explore the chosen topic in detail, but the viewer doesn’t always have the time and opportunity to watch such videos in one sitting. In such cases, video transcription comes to help.

Video transcripts are the conversion of video to text, and they make content more accessible and usable by giving another way to learn information from it. There are many video transcript generators that recognize speech and convert it to text quite accurately, although it is worth looking over the transcript carefully in case of small errors.
