Sean, Terry, John, et al,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for that great feedback. I've been in contact with AST. I'll be checking out the other resources also. I've tried transcribing one of the videos myself. I see what a task this is. I remember Dick Banks used to demonstrate using voice recognition to transcribe a file - not directly from the original speaker, but by repeating the audio into Dragon Dictate instead of using the keyboard. Any recommendations on processes/software for doing the transcribing would be most welcome.</div>

The short answer is Yes. If you have a transcript of the video, one solution would be to upload the transcript and let YouTube perform the auto-timing function to generate a time-stamped file. You can then download that time-stamped file.<br>
<br>
The time-stamped file from YouTube (using the auto-timing function) will be a "SBV" file. The recent version of MovCaptioner will allow you to import a SBV file where you can make changes to the timing, etc. MovCaptioner is just a captioning application for the Mac platform ($40, but has free trial period). You can import a SBV file and then export a SRT file - Todd S. mentioned this workflow in a previous e-mail. MovCaptioner supports *a lot* of different file formats to import and export.<br>
<br>
If you already have a captioning application that supports the SRT format (but not SBV), then you can use this Website to convert YouTube's SBV to the SRT format -<br>
<a href="http://www.gidsgoldberg.com/sbv_docs_converter.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.gidsgoldberg.com/sbv_docs_converter.shtml</a> . Then you can make any changes, export a SRT file from your captioning application, and upload back to the YouTube presentation.<br>
