How to turn a YouTube video into an article for your site
Paste the video link into Naito and it extracts the transcript (captions or transcribed speech) and writes an original article in your voice, with an image and SEO ready. It suits people with a channel, companies with corporate or product videos, and anyone who wants to turn what was said on video into text.
Who it's for
Creators and bloggers with a channel, companies with corporate or product videos, radio and TV outlets that want a text version.
Who it's not for
Anyone who wants to republish other people's videos without permission. Use the feature with content that is yours or that you are allowed to adapt.
How to do it with Naito
Paste the video URL
On the YouTube page in the dashboard, paste the link. If you like, choose the article format (explainer, list, FAQ, timeline, how-to, quick brief or comparison) and a category.
Adjust the voice for this request only
The form is pre-filled with your default profile. Change tone and content for this request only, without touching your Settings.
Let Naito extract the transcript
Naito uses the video's public captions. On plans from Essential up, videos without captions are transcribed automatically from the audio. Videos up to a maximum length, which varies by plan, are processed in full; for longer videos only the beginning is used, and the dashboard warns you.
Review and publish
The article goes through your review policy and reaches your CMS like any other: with a summary, key points, an image and SEO.
Why it works better this way
What was in video becomes searchable
A video is hard to index in depth. The article carries the same information as text that search engines and AI assistants can read and cite.
Your channel's voice, not a robot's
The article follows your voice profile, your style guide and your term rules, like any other Naito content.
Predictable cost
Plans from Essential up include 5 to 40 videos a month. Beyond the quota (or on Plus, which includes none), each video costs US$1.99, and you control the monthly spending limit.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about this guide
Does it work with a video that has no captions?
On plans from Essential up, yes: the audio is transcribed automatically. On lower plans, only videos that already have public captions are processed.
Is there a length limit?
Yes, and it varies by plan. The dashboard shows the limit and warns you when only the beginning of a long video was used.
Can I use videos from other channels?
Only use videos that are yours or that you are authorized to adapt. The article is written in original text, but the source content still belongs to whoever produced it.
How much does each video cost?
It is included in your plan's monthly quota; beyond that it is US$1.99 per video, if overage billing is turned on. The amounts are on the pricing page.
