Transcribing a youtube video I uploaded

[Xarzu]

I gathered information from various instructional videos and put together my own compiled work. I uploaded the video to youtube on one of my channels. Now I want to download the transcription. I can not find where I need to click to do that. Now, since I own the channel, I can edit settings accordingly but I can not find where to do that either. Here is the link as a reference:

Maybe there is a software tool you can recommend that will produce a transcript of a video or mp4 file.

To download the transcription of your YouTube video, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to the YouTube Studio website by visiting studio.youtube.com and log in with your Google account.
2. Once you're on the YouTube Studio dashboard, find and click on the "Videos" tab on the left-hand sidebar.
3. Locate the video you want to download the transcription for and click on its title.
4. In the video's page, look for the "Translations & Transcriptions" tab on the top menu and click on it.
5. Under the "Transcriptions" section, you should see a list of available language transcriptions. If there is already a transcription created, you can click on the three-dotted menu next to it and select "Download" to save it to your device.

If you haven't added a transcription yet, you can click on the "+ Add language" button to add one. YouTube provides an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system that generates a rough transcript based on the audio in your video. Once the automatic transcription is generated, you can edit it manually for accuracy.

In case the automatic transcription feature is not available for your video, or you are looking for a software tool that can transcribe videos or MP4 files, there are several options you can consider:

1. Google Docs: You can use the built-in speech recognition feature in Google Docs to transcribe your video. Open a new Google Docs document, go to the "Tools" menu, and select "Voice typing." Then, play the video and let the tool transcribe the audio into text.

2. Online transcription services: There are various online platforms that offer transcription services, such as Rev.com, Temi.com, and Trint.com. You can upload your video file to these platforms, and they will transcribe it for you at a reasonable cost.

3. Transcription software: Some dedicated transcription software tools, like Express Scribe or Inqscribe, can transcribe videos or audio files. These programs typically allow you to play the video while typing the transcription, making the process more efficient.

Remember that automatic transcription may have limitations in terms of accuracy, especially for non-native speakers, background noise, or complex jargon. Therefore, manual editing or professional transcription services are often recommended for better precision.

2. Once you're on the YouTube Studio dashboard, find and click on the "Videos" tab on the left-hand sidebar.

This does not exist. The only thing close to this option would be "Content" and the icon for "Content" is a stack of video icons and so this can be assumed to be the correct option.

3. Locate the video you want to download the transcription for and click on its title.
4. In the video's page, look for the "Translations & Transcriptions" tab on the top menu and click on it.

This does not exist.
