- Google is rolling out transcripts for videos uploaded to Drive.
- Users can view or search for transcripts by clicking on Settings in the video player and selecting Transcript.
- Transcripts will only be available on videos that have captions.
A little less than a year ago, Google rolled out automatically generated captions for videos uploaded to Google Drive. This is a feature that’s available to both business and personal Google accounts alike. It is now expanding on this idea by launching a new Drive video feature.
Starting today, Google is introducing transcripts to videos uploaded to Drive. You’ll find the feature by clicking on Settings in the video player and selecting Transcript. Clicking on Transcript will open up a sidebar next to the video. That sidebar contains spoken text, time stamps, and a search field for you to view or search for specific moments in a video.
