Transcript-first publishing notes
This section turns transcript exposure into an editorial system: publishable pages, clearer headings, tighter context, and cleaner machine-readable signals.
What this section is for
The goal is not to dump captions into a page.
The goal is to transform spoken explanations into pages that are easier to read, search, scan, quote, and classify.
Editorial rule
- Start from a real video and a real transcript
- Edit for structure, not invention
- Keep the transcript close to the video context
- Use headings that answer real questions
- Treat metadata and structured data as support, not as a substitute for the page text
