I have uploaded a great number of videos to YouTube and the auto transcription has been active. I now have access to the transcriptions but there is no punctuation. It will take a huge amount of time to add the punctuation. Does anyone know how this can be added either during or after videos have been transcribed via MS Word? Even just the full stop at the end of sentences would help along with the capitalisation at the start of the sentences. Any help would be appreciated.

To some extent, you could try selecting text and running the spell check (F7).


Have you tried using the transcription service available in Word online?
Microsoft Word Online - Work together on Word documents
I do not know if it would do a better job or not.

I'm afraid that neither suggestion works!

Can you post a sample transcript for experimentation?

Does a Text to Speech method work out how to do the pauses or does it just read it continuous?

I have included an example below:

the maintenance departments then prepared the room for television production while the design team diligently worked on the look of the set color and lighting were key pieces in conveying a dignified yet modern feel the approved design was then translated into an actual set by the construction crew after only a few days the equipment started to arrive miles of cables were installed finally the technical team had to ensure that all of the pieces of hardware and software worked well together

As you can see, just adding a full stop at the end of sentences and the capital letter at the start would really be helpful.

Word cannot do this. Perhaps some other program can. i do not know of one.
