🎥 How to Transcribe Videos in OBS (Without Using DaVinci Resolve) 🚀
Old way
Are you looking for a way to transcribe your videos directly in OBS Studio without relying on DaVinci Resolve? You're in the right place! In this blog post, I’ll walk you through a simple and effective method to transcribe your videos right after recording. Let’s dive in! 🌊
🎯 What I Want to Achieve
Many creators record their content using OBS Studio but rely on external tools like DaVinci Resolve for transcription. While Resolve is a powerful tool, it can be overkill if you’re just looking to transcribe your videos. Here’s how you can achieve this directly in OBS or with minimal external tools. 🛠️
🛠️ Tools You’ll Need
-
OBS Studio (of course!) 🎬
-
A speech-to-text tool (I’ll recommend some free and paid options) 🗣️
-
A text editor (like Notepad, Google Docs, or any other) 📝
🚀 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Record Your Video in OBS
Start by recording your video as usual in OBS Studio. Make sure your audio is clear and free from background noise for the best transcription results. 🎙️

-
Export the audio as an MP3 or WAV file.

Step 5: Add Subtitles to Your Video (Optional)
If you want to add subtitles to your video, you can use a tool like Aegisub or even YouTube’s built-in subtitle editor. This step is optional but highly recommended for better accessibility. 🌍
