Batch Method

Use the form below to generate a transcript in batch.

This batch transcript processor is ideal for converting YouTube transcripts into the proper transcript format, but do note that person tags, which are used to identify speakers, will be excluded in the output window unless added in manually using the format %Person%. Additionally, any instance of >> to indicate a speaker shift will be replaced with -- in the output window. To exclude speaker shifts altogether from your output results, be sure to remove all instance of >> before conversion. INPUT
OUTPUT

How It Works:

  1. Required: Insert the transcript text into the Transcript textarea. Transcripts that are copied-and-pasted directly from YouTube may produce varying results. These transcripts will always contain time tags for timing, noise tags for background noises (if applicable), and span tags with transcripted text but may or may not include person tags to indicate speakers. Different transcripting patterns have been accounted for as best as possible. Additionally, any instance of >> to indicate a speaker shift will be replaced with empty personperson tags. Make sure all timing values are placed at the beginning of each line in the format of 0:00 or 00:00 for best results. For further information regarding output formatting, to add in speakers or noises, or to replace speaker shifts with persons, refer to the formatting guide below, which will further explain how input patterns will be converted into HTML in the OUTPUT window:
    Type Input Output
    time 00:00 time00:00time
    speaker shift >> personperson
    noise [NOISE] or (NOISE) noise[NOISE]noise
    person %Person% or Person: personPersonperson
    transcript transcript text spantranscript textspan
  2. Click the Add button to add a set of trans entries to the transcript in the output window.
