Ordinarily, quotation marks are used to quote material read or cited into the record. According to the Oxford Dictionary guide, the colon should be followed by a quotation mark or a single inverted comma.
The addition of punctuation narrows the gap between a mere transcript and a more intelligent understanding of language. Punctuation, used in the right place, significantly improves the readability of transcripts and reduces the time it takes to edit them.
View captions transcriptGo to the video description, and click More . Click Show transcript. As you watch the video, the transcript will scroll to show you the current caption text. Click any line of caption text to jump to that part of the video.
This is a problem studied in Natural Language Processing (NLP), which is often referred to as punctuation restoreation. There are some deep learning solutions that can achieve this, but they aren't perfect, although they can achieve decent results. You can try using https://github.com/ottokart/punctuator2, which is based on this paper. (you can try it out here).
