Why not get some voice recognition software that will type into word what you speak and set the microphone next to your speakers as you play back the youtube. Not 100% that it will work, but it sounds good in theory!

Actually I was thinking about Dragon Naturally Speaking which types what you speak, as it just did this post.

Chadd,I've been playing around with Dragon naturally speaking, and although it types what I say, I'm not sure that it will pick up with the promo copy like you are wanting. But it is still a very cool program. However if you're using Windows Vista you need to get at the least Dragon Naturally Speaking 10.

Actually Dragon 10 has a transcribe mode where it will transcribe a wav or mp3 file...so ignore my original idea of holding the mic to the speaker. But it will transcribe for you!

Found this while looking around for scripts myself. Like it says at the bottom of the page, you might wanna re-write some of this, but tons of stuff to work with:

practice voice over scripts, demo voiceover scripts, copy for demos, free download

Good luck!
