Here are 7 ways in which YouTube transcripts can be put to use:
1. References and Citations:
A citation is a quotation or an
extract from some source for reference purpose. Usually the sources include
books, newspapers, research publications, magazines, letters, manuscript etc.
So by transcribing YouTube videos one can use parts of spoken text as
citations. One word of caution: Make sure to include the source along with the
Author name. Other details such as date of publication, year of publication,
edition number, for which university or research institution the article was
published, such information can also be mentioned. If space is scarce then
including the authors name and date of publication is sufficient.
2. Add YouTube Transcripts To Your Blog:
One of the best
possible uses of a YouTube transcript is to cut and paste the full verbatim
transcript into a blog. Blog owners usually struggle with adding fresh content
to their websites. Struggle happens when one has to think of new topics, fresh ideas
of presentations and news content when there the topics have already been
mentioned or talked about, or, when there is very limited scope of sharing new
content due to the product or service. For example a company selling mosquito
protection nets would find it difficult to add fresh pages to their website's
blog. On the other hand an photographer or a painter could be flowing with lots
of creative ideas and things to talk about and Tweet about. So if one is
running out of website content pages then consider adding a full YouTube
verbatim transcript to your website.
Tip: Always include a verbatim transcript below the YouTube
video.
3. Compilation Of Transcripts Into An EBook.
Here is another
fantastic method of putting YouTube text to something useful. Website users, authors
and publishers can compile all the verbatim text conversation of YouTube videos
into an Ebook on a monthly or a biweekly timeframe. Ebooks can be published
onto Amazon Kindle book services, Issuu, Scribd etc. Also, citations and references
can be extracted and made part of Ebook pages.
Thus it makes the life of a content manager or an author so much easier
when you have some ready sources of your content.
4. Content material for Marketing Materials: Thinking of
fresh, innovative and snappy digital marketing ideas is a common problem that marketers
face. Digital marketers and SEO specialists are now beginning to realize power
of YouTube video transcription. Here are seven ways in which YouTube
Transcripts are being used by website marketers:
A. SeoMoz
inserts a video transcript below each of their WhiteBoard Friday videos.
B. Marketers
are making dual purpose of YouTube transcripts by using time coded YouTube
subtitles.
C. Digital marketers
are taking help of Facebook video transcription service by Etranscriber.net to improve on video
viewing experience.
5. Direct
content for Weekly/Monthly Newsletter:
YouTube embedded videos can be embedded
into your email newsletters. And one can place the 1st minute of transcribed
video text in big quotes. The text acts as an interesting teaser which can
evoke readers interest and lead him to click on the link in the newsletter.
6. Video Logs:
Vlog or Video log is a type of a blog in the
form of small length videos posted on a frequent basis. It is also known as
Vlogging compared to what is known traditionally which is 'Blogging'. Vlogs are
usually short video posts which run under 7 minutes.
7. Cataloging information:
Most people have not considered
this but cataloging by the means of a transcript can also be done. This is
especially used in financial transcription where insurance reports are
transcribed and catalogued. Similarly videos from Youtube, Daily Motion and Vimeo can be transcribed, converted to text and catalogues.
So as you can see there are several benefits of converting a
YouTube video into a transcript.
Rates of Youtube Transcription: Prices for converting a YouTube video to text starts at $0.85/minute of video for a 3 day
turnaround. 24 hour Rush transcription is also available at the rate of
