Adding Text (Closed Captions) To YouTube Videos
How to add subtitle text to the bottom of your YouTube Videos. The text is actually done through closed captioning, which allows hearing disabled to see your video, but more importantly, it puts the text of your presentation on the bottom of your video while it plays, increasing the attention the viewer pays to your video and adding to the chance that they will do what you want them to.

I was wondering at first how you did yours because the captioning doesn't match your speech some of the time. But, I see the transcribers alter it.

You have to do it ...
You have to do it from a .txt file. Word documents insert all kinds of extra characters, which is what you're seeing. Simply open up Notepad (or another text processing program) on your computer, then copy the document out of word and paste it into the text document. You may have to fix a couple of characters (', ", -, etc.) then save the file and upload that file. Should work just fine!
