Briefly

Google has announced a new feature for Google Drive, allowing users to access searchable transcripts for their videos. This enhancement, set to roll out to all Google Workspace users by March 26th, provides timestamped text blocks similar to those found on YouTube. Users can find specific moments in videos by searching the transcript or clicking highlighted text blocks. However, transcripts are only available if videos have captions, which users can create automatically through the Drive interface. This development aims to boost accessibility and facilitate easier navigation within video content.
