Use the following method to convert YouTube audio to text and save automatically to a Word file. Make sure you have a working internet on your computer or laptop.
I have often used this method. For example, while watching a very interesting tutorial on YouTube and at the same time I have to make notes of this tutorial, I can do it without typing a single word.
Another example is, if you want to capture the text from videos for your site or for the purpose of blogging.
In the following simple steps, I show you with some live pictures how to convert any type of audio to text.
