I Almost Quit YouTube Before I Discovered What a Video Transcript Could Actually Do
Three years into making videos, I sat at 1am rewriting captions for the fourteenth time that month. My upload schedule had collapsed. Editing took longer than filming, and captions ate whatever time was left. I remember thinking the math simply didn't work anymore. Ten hours a week just typing out what I'd already said out loud, word for word, felt like punishment for growing an audience. That frustration is what eventually pushed me toward automated Video Transcript tools, and it changed how I think about post-production entirely.
