You Can Now Search Through Video Transcripts on Google Drive
1 min read
Summary
Google Drive now has an update that enables users to search within transcripts to find specific areas within videos even if a transcript was not manually created.
On the video player, click on the cog icon, then “Transcript” to open a sidebar that shows every spoken word in the video and highlights the current timestamp.
This new tool will be available to Google Workspace customers, Google Workspace Individual subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts, with a rollout beginning today.
This provides an example of the power of Google Drive, which is often thought of merely as a cloud storage service, and underscores the usefulness of checking for updates on software and programs as they may offer new features.
