3 benefits of transcribing your videos

What is video transcription?

Video transcription is the process of translating your video’s audio into text using automatic speech recognition technology, human transcriptionists, or a combination of the two.

Video transcription is a powerful tool that can help you save time and money by allowing you to search for specific words or phrases in your video. It also allows your viewers to easily skip through the content, making it easier for them to find what they’re looking for—and ultimately increases the watch time of your videos.

 

Video transcription is the process of converting a video into written text.

Video transcription is a service that can be outsourced, and it’s similar to subtitling, but with one major difference: video transcription involves converting audio or video into written text.

When you hire someone to do your transcribing, they will listen to the entire recording and transcribe everything they hear in an orderly manner that makes sense when read by another person. This means that there will be no errors in grammar or spelling, and if there are any unclear parts of speech (such as slang words), they will add context so that readers understand what was meant by them and how they were used in the context they were presented in.

 

Transcription lets Google understand what’s happening in your videos and share them with people who can’t see them.

Transcription makes videos more accessible to people who are unable to view the visual media for whatever reason. It’s also a good way to repurpose content–you can use transcribed text in other places on your website or social media channels, which helps engage with your audience.

Finally, transcription is a great SEO tool and can help improve search engine rankings for certain keywords within your video content.

 

Video transcription improves user experience, search engine optimization, user engagement, and audience retention.

By transcribing your videos, viewers can better understand what is being said. This can aid them in deciding whether to continue watching your video or not. Additionally, because search engines such as Google rely on text-based content to find search results, transcribing videos will allow more people to view your video. This is because it would boost your search engine optimization (SEO) when people are looking for content similar to yours.

 

Conclusion

Transcription is not just a tool for videos–It can also be used for podcasts, audio recordings, and other similar forms of media. Regardless of what you’re transcribing, the benefits are equal. It will improve your user experience, SEO, and audience retention.
