## Definition

Entity-linked transcripts are video or audio transcripts that have been edited to include explicit references to named entities — brand names, people, locations, products, and topics — making the content machine-readable and citable by AI systems that index video platforms.

## Why It Matters for AI Search

Auto-generated YouTube transcripts are often stripped of proper nouns, punctuation, and context. AI systems indexing video content work from whatever transcript is available. An edited transcript that names entities clearly and uses structured language gives AI crawlers a text layer to work from — turning a video into a retrieval asset rather than just a viewer experience.
