Here are different reasons to transcribe YouTube videos:

  • Increase your reach: transcribing your YouTube videos makes them more accessible. It makes your video content easier to consume for viewers who have hearing impairments or speak a different language than the one that is spoken in a specific video.
  • Improved SEO: text content is better than video content if you want to increase your visibility in search engines. Converting YouTube videos into text allows search engine bots to index them better and make them appear higher in SERPs when users search for key terms related to the topic of a particular video.
  • Promote content curation: transcribing YouTube videos allows you to repurpose digital content on social media to engage with different audiences. You can use quotes from your high-quality transcripts for captions on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
  • Improved accessibility: accurate transcripts are an invaluable resource for individuals who must rely on text-based materials in order to understand audio and visual content. They benefit those who are hearing impaired or deaf, as well as language learners or users who need to quickly access relevant information in videos.
  • Increased online visibility and reach: transcribing your videos increases your visibility on search engine engines like Google. This is a great way for businesses to increase organic traffic to their websites. Content creators can drastically improve their online presence as long as their transcripts are properly optimized for keywords related to their specific niche.
  • Easier content sharing: transcripts make it easier for viewers to share parts of the video content on social media or other online platforms. Plus, they eliminate the need for users to watch lengthy videos in order to access a specific piece of information they’re looking for.
