Speech-to-text video transcription on selected YouTube channels
| Question | Answer | |
| Which YouTube channels have speech-to-text video transcription? | Videos on selected YouTube channels are transcribed automatically using Speech-to-text technology. Videos can be transcribed up to 90 minutes in duration. If some or all videos in the selected channel have automatic subtitles created by YouTube, the system scans these subtitles. | |
| I want to receive video transcription from a specific YouTube channel, how do I do that? | The system transcribes only selected channels. | |
| How do I search for my company/object of monitoring in the transcripts? | It should be noted that in the Ukrainian and Russian language transcripts, company names in English (Latin alphabet) will be written in Cyrillic and there may be errors in the transcription of such words. | |
| What languages are supported by speech-to-text video transcription? | Ukrainian, Russian and English. | |
| Why video transcription text is solid, without commas or sentences? | This is an automatic text transcription, based on machine translation of audio into text, but unfortunately this format cannot take punctuation and capital letters into account. All words are written with lower case letters, including first names. | |
| What types of media are supported by speech-to-text video transcription ? | TV, and selected YouTube channels. | |
| A video from a YouTube channel connected to speech-to-text video transcription immediately receives a Speech to text transcript? | No, at first the video just arrives in the account as a video and is later completed with a transcript. This takes up to 30 minutes from the time the video appears in the system. Therefore, in order to receive newsletters by this parameter, it is recommended to select "in real time" option in the settings. These videos will then be sent to the newsletter not by the time of the video itself, but by the time the text transcript is received. | |
| Which YouTube channels now receive Speech to text? | We selected the top channels in Ukraine with news content - predominantly national TV channel pages - and turned them off to transcription using Speech to text. | |
| Sometimes the authored transcripts automatically identify people/brands and organisations/geographical names, but sometimes they do not? | Automatically people/brands and organisations/geographical names are detected in texts where they are spelt correctly, i.e. capital letters etc. are present. There are no capital letters in automatically transcribed texts, so entities are not automatically detected. They are detected in the title of the video, in the description below the video if there is one. You can use autotagging for more specific determination of the required entities, please contact your manager to set it up. |
