Why convert a video to text?
- Reading is 3–4× faster than watching at normal speed
- Text is searchable, so you can find the one part you need
- You can quote accurately in essays, articles and reports
- Text can be translated, summarized or fed into other tools
- It works in places where you can't play sound
Ideas for using video text
Turn a webinar into a blog post. Turn a lecture into study notes. Make a newsletter from a podcast episode. Build show notes and chapters for your own channel. Grab the recipe from a cooking video without pausing every ten seconds.
If you want the main points rather than every word, the YouTube Summarizer gives you a structured summary instead.
