How to Transcribe Your YouTube Videos

Transcribing your YouTube videos is great for SEO and for accessibility, but it’s not always clear just how to do it. Here’s what to do:

1. Log into your YouTube account and click on your profile pic in the top right and click on Creator Studio.



2. Find the video that you want to edit and click on “edit’.



3. Then click on the “Subtitles/CC” link at the top right of the page.



4. It may want you to choose a language. Go ahead and do that.
5. You will then have the choice of typing in your transcription or uploading it. If you upload it, make sure you save it as a .txt file with a title that includes your keywords. I like to create txt files with Notepad.



6. Then be sure to save your work.
