Hey Product Hunt! ๐
Special thanks to the Chef himself @aaronoleary for hunting us!๐
Weโre super excited to launch Video to Article powered by Type Studio.๐ฅณ
Transform your videos into interactive articles and share or embed them wherever you want. Improve the experience for your audience by making it easier for them to watch your videos using the transcribed text and let them interact directly with your video.
What's neat about it?
๐ค Read through your video based on the transcribed text
๐ Make your video searchable for viewers and for Google to improve SEO
๐ธ Jump to the right spot in the video by clicking on a word
๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ Share your video online without anyone having to download it
๐ Increase the interaction rate on your video
Where can I use it?
Basically, you can use your video wherever you need it. But here are three suitable use cases.
๐ฌEmail & Messenger: Send the Sharing Screen URL via Email, Slack, or your favorite direct messenger. Everybody with the Link can watch your video with the transcribed text.
๐Blog Article: Embed the provided snippet into your Blog. No matter if you use WordPress, Medium, Ghost, Drupal, or even TYPO3 Blog.
๐ง Knowledge Base: Build up your Knowledge Base with Video content and make it easy for everybody to search and skip through.
How it works:
1. Upload your video into Type Studio
2. Edit your video if you have to and render it online
3. Set Sharing Screen to โPublicโ
4. Copy the Sharing Link or Embed Snippet and use it wherever you want
If you have any questions - We are here all day to answer all of them or support you if you need help embedding your video. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.๐
As a thank you to the Product Hunt community, we give a 20% discount on the Pro version during our launch week.๐ป
@michael_sieb this is awesome. Itโs timely for me personally as been researching various video editing tools. Quite a few out there but Type Studio seems to have a better UX than the others. Definitely going to sign up! Will provide any feedback to you :)
Can you hear my thoughts??!! I just said "I wish there was a thing that would turn this into text" after I published my last Youtube video ๐ณ Looks awesome! Good luck with the launch!
@michael_sieb I'm back again to say, this thing you made is really awesome and here's why I think so:
1. Nice user experience - your copy prompts throughout the signup process were delightful and unexpected, the dropzone for the video is hard to miss, the UI is beautiful and the task flows are intuitive.
2. Progress bar - made me feel reassured
3. Speed - it uploaded quite quickly for an HD video!
4. Accuracy - worked like a charm, I didn't even need to tweak it.
Questions:
- What's are the little squares in between phrases and how do I get rid of them?
- Is there a way to cancel an export if I change my mind?
I can tell how much hard work you all put into this..the fact that it's browser based too is impressive.
TL;DR This. is. good. stuff. Try it out! ๐ฅ
@michael_sieb@elizabeth_alli Hey Elizabeth! Thank you soo so much for your Feedback! Only with feedback we can improve in the right direction.
To Answer your Questions:
1. The squares.
Actually the squares visualize the pauses in your spoken text / in your video.
When you want to get rid of the pauses and make it more jump-cut-like, simply delete the squares and the the pauses will get cut out automatically.
2. At the moment its not possible to cancel the export! But I write it on our to do list.
Thank you again for your feedback!
If you need help or if you have more ideas - feel free to reach out to us :))
Hey folks! Looks like a cool product. Big fan of anything that makes content production quicker and simpler!
Feature-wise, how does Type differ from Descript?
@tomcosman Thanks for your feedback! ๐ You're right Descript has also added the text-based video editing function. The main difference is that our tool is completely web-based and runs in every browser. You don't have to download and install any software. The advantage of this is that we render the video in the cloud and enable functions such as video sharing and integration.
@tomcosman@michael_sieb ahhhh I see! Roger that. That's awesome, browser-based is a win for sure.
Love the subtitles and text formatting built-in also!
Does the output (video and article) were designed to be compatible with screen readers and other equipment used by people with out of the norm capabilities (cognitive or physical)?
Does it work with other languages than English?
@cecile_rofidal TBH: I don't know if screenreader can read this... Are you familiar with this topic?
If you tell me what's necessary for screenreader, I will implement it!
Hello!
And what languages supported for transcription from video, and do you have opportunity or plans in future to transcribe only audio file (itโs useful for podcasts)
@m0rg0t we currently support ๐บ๐ธ ๐ฉ๐ช ๐ซ๐ท ๐ต๐น ๐ฎ๐น ๐น๐ท ๐ต๐ฑ ๐ช๐ธ ๐ณ๐ด ๐ท๐ด ๐ธ๐ช ๐จ๐ฟ ๐ท๐บ but we will add more languages in the future! Do you need a specific language?
At the moment we only support audio in combination with a video.
@m0rg0t@marvin_off was curious about russian.
One more thing - are you going to try implement separation of different voices in video (for example when two people talk in video would be nice to get text corresponding to specific person, case it would be much easier to edit such texts)
@melissa_blair1 Hi Melissa, thank you very much :)
We're slowly rolling out the Team Plan for selected teams!
Just send me an email to erik@typestudio.co and we'll also figure out a discount for you guys ๐
Hey @khrev_ I love TypeStudio concept SOOO MUCH I had to let you know every time I tried editing my video it kept crashing. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up, that some one out there is having an issue with editing in the platform. Thanks, keep rocking and building.
@edgarascom A very good question! In the past, Google and Co. could actually not crawl and index embedded iframes. But today all common web crawlers can crawl iframes.
@edgarascom@michael_sieb So the embedded transcript/article would be indexed by google as page content? Hard to believe, guess I have to try itโฆ But doesn't google count it as duplicate content though??? ๐ค
