Speed up your video transcription YouTube using a combination of Snapdownloader and Otter.ai software. Snapdownloader has become my new best video downloader. With this downloader, you can download your favorite videos from YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, and many more websites.
As an example, you can copy a video URL from YouTube, paste the YouTube URL into the paste video Link….box, keep the default output formats and click download. Voila! You are now ready to save yourself a lot of time in transcribing that video by importing your MP4 (or other format) into otter.ai.
Wait! Hold Your Horses
Stop! Do not send your final transcription to your client yet. Literal transcription will not always be peachy keen. There will be mistakes, but if you are a copyeditor, as well as a transcriber, the content will be a piece of cake for you to spit shine and polish. And, if you don’t have to complete a verbatim or semi-verbatim transcription, if you have a willing client, you might even have a little leeway for creative license, depending on your rapport with your client.
Tips for Improving Your Video Transcription
Listen to the original video transcription while you are reading the written content. Close your eyes to the errors you might see, listen to the original video and change those pesky errors. Oh, by the way, punctuation can be a major disaster when you first look at the transcribed content. But, you can handle it. Just read carefully and even read your business transcription draft back to yourself so you can catch those errors. Another option is to import the MP3 or MP4 that you downloaded and import that into Express Scribe. Furthermore, you can play the file in Express Scribe, listening and proof editing as you go.
Final Words on Using Video Transcription
If you are transcribing a technical document, using Otter.ai can be challenging but by using the method I’ve described here, it can be done. Use patience and diligence and add the formatting that you and your client have previously mutually agreed on to finalize your business transcription. You will find that it will be a whole lot easier to apply video transcription software using Otter.ai.
