Transcribing cooking videos from YouTube using TurboScribe is a straightforward process that allows you to convert video content into accurate text quickly. Begin by visiting the TurboScribe website at https://turboscribe.ai/ and creating a free account. Once logged in, navigate to the “Transcribe Files” section and select the “Link” option, represented by a chain link icon. Here, you can paste the URL of the desired YouTube cooking video and click “Import” to upload it to the platform.

After the video is imported, specify the language of the audio and enable speaker recognition if necessary. Click the “Transcribe” button to initiate the transcription process. TurboScribe will process the video and generate a transcript, which you can access from your dashboard. You can download the transcript in various formats, such as TXT, DOCX, or SRT (subtitles), depending on your needs. With a free account, you can transcribe up to three videos per day, each up to 30 minutes long. For additional transcription needs, upgrading to a paid plan unlocks unlimited transcriptions and extended features.

Sure you can toggle off the timestamps and cut and paste the transcript into a document, but this is faster. A 29.48 minute video took 5 minutes to transcribe. There are a number of download options with or without timestamps. Cutting and pasting the transcript directly from YouTube creates a 24 page document with annoying short sentences.
