You watched an interesting video at YouTube, liked it, but not sure you completely understood it. Well, copy the URL of that video clip, download it, and transcribe what you’ve heard. Other users can watch it, give you feedback, or offer their transcript to the same video. Then you will know exactly what’s being said in the video.
Transcribing something is an excellent way to improve your listening comprehension. It does a magic to your ears. Try one and you will see what I mean. And you won’t be guilty anymore for spending too much time at YouTube.
Let us know how you like it and what we can improve further.

Nothing makes us more happy than our users telling us they like the features we developed at Kantalk. The latest example is the video transcribing.
We firmly believe that transcribing a video clip is an excellent way to improve one's listening comprehension. That's why we added YouTube video feature a few weeks ago. Since then, one of our users, Sting, quickly became a top contributor. He submitted many YouTube clips and did a wonderful job in transcribing them.
It turned out Sting is a leader of a fascinating group in China of the dedicated English learners. He started the group last year to take advantage of YouTube's rich video offerings, and its members have since grown to over 200 from all over the world.
Each day they select one YouTube clip and assign it as the homework. Using QQ, a popular IM tool in Asia, they help one other to transcribe the video clips. So far, they have done over 200 transcriptions. Apparently, they have a lot of fun for doing it. And learning too.
If anyone wants to join Sting's study group and eager to take on his homework, feel free to contact him. His QQ ID is 287033838. his QQ group is 32149507.
