# Create Searchable Video Archives

Most video libraries are unsearchable. You can search by title, tags, and description, but not by what was actually said in the video. This means valuable content -- answers to specific questions, mentions of particular topics, expert opinions on niche subjects -- is effectively hidden inside hours of video that nobody will watch sequentially.

Extracting transcripts from your entire video library transforms it from a linear collection into a searchable knowledge base. Every word spoken in every video becomes findable. Team members can search for specific topics and jump directly to the relevant moment in any video. This is the difference between a video archive and a video-powered knowledge base.

This is particularly valuable for organizations with large video libraries -- educational institutions, media companies, corporate training departments, and content creators with years of back catalog. The transcript extraction process turns retrospective content into a living, searchable resource that continues to deliver value long after the original videos were published.
