TL;DR
Transcripts contain the actual intent of your video. Use them to write metadata that matches the content, improves viewer satisfaction, and increases retention.
Why transcripts improve YouTube SEO
When titles and descriptions match the video, viewers stay longer and the algorithm rewards the video with more impressions. Transcripts make that alignment easy.
