Did you know that Google indexes your YouTube video by
listening to what you say in the video?
If you upload a transcript of your video content it will not only boost your rankings but it will generate captions under your video so people who can’t hear or understand what you’re saying in the video can simply read the captions.
Here’s how to correctly upload your video transcript to YouTube:
Open up a text edit file on your MAC or a notepad file on your PC.
Transcribe your video content.
Here’s my text edit file with the transcribed content.
Make sure you save it as a .txt file.
So to do this with text edit – go to format – make plain text – convert this document to plain text
Click “ok”

When the white line has reached the end of the video you’ll know it has finished processing.
