All right, I am going to show you how to convert a YouTube video transcript into readable text that is great for studying and taking notes.
First, open the YouTube video and pause it. Then, scroll down to the section where it talks about the video and click on ‘Transcript’. Click on ‘Show Transcript’ and toggle off the timestamps. Next, select the entire transcript and copy it.
Open Microsoft Word and create a new document. Paste the transcript into the document. Now, we need to format the transcript. Go to ‘Find’ and select ‘Advanced Find’. Look for ‘Paragraph Mark’ and replace it with a nonbreaking space. Click ‘Replace All’.
Now, copy the formatted transcript and go to ChatGPT. Paste the transcript into the message box and add a period at the end. Send the message.
ChatGPT will organize the transcript into neat subjects. Once it’s done, copy the organized transcript and paste it into a new blank document. Print the document and give it to your students for easy reference while watching the video. They can also make highlights of important points.
I hope this tutorial helps you convert YouTube video transcripts into readable text for studying and note-taking!
