We look at how to transcribe video content. From Wikipedia, ‘Transcription in the linguistic sense is the systematic representation of language in written form. The source can either be utterances (speech or sign language) or pre-existing text in another writing system.’
In brief, we will (i) upload our content, (ii) trigger transcription, and (iii) download a video with our embedded transcript. To transcribe your existing video content, please follow the below steps.
Steps
- Please direct your browser to videotranslator.ai, and then click on the Login button. On successfully logging into the application, you should see an interface similar to the below. Select myTemplate, and using the highlighted button, add a new item.
- Select the item, and using the highlighted button, open it. Then, using the highlighted button in the ‘Upload the Video’ image, upload your video.
- Once your video is uploaded, please use the highlighted, Actions -> Transcribe, to trigger the transcription process.
- Please select a dialect, and the preferred video. A cost estimate is also be provided. Please note, costs vary based on length of video, and which specific AI is used, a rough estimate is about 10-20 cents/minute.
- Once triggered, please allow the process to complete. This can take up to a few minutes, depending on the length of the original content. Please note, we apply a hard limit of 100mb on uploaded video to prevent abuse. Please contact our Support team, if a change is required.
- On completion, please click the video to Play, and to view the captions. Buttons are also available to (a) download the video, (b) download the caption file (*.srt), or © a hosted Content Delivery Network link to the video.
- Alternatively select the Captions tab to view the transcript. Should you wish to edit, please make changes and select Add Caption to apply edits. The Sub Caption will remove the captions from the underlying asset.
- Congratulations, you have successfully transcribed your content.
