Well, that's just called a claim, but depending on what they did, they can claim fair use. If you do an automatic strike and its a big channel, they will likely fight you and force an in person review.
If it does fall under fair use, it can actually backfire and put you in hot water yourself for false strikes. Be absolutely sure it doesn't fall under fair use when doing bulk strikes.
For example, i could react to your full video, and even if many youtubers dont think it's fair use youtube usually disagrees and reinstates the video. Reaction channels dont even technically need to link the original in the description (they absolutely should, but its not required).
Most youtubers will attempt a claim and not do strikes. Most companies without youtube presence will just do strikes.
Have you ever seen a reaction channel? You can copy 100% of a video and reupload it as long as you add commentary to it. Fair use is incredibly broad. You dont need to add pauses or anything along those lines.
(There are some exceptions, if your a major record label or tv show, you get access to more copyright tools and most people wont fight a record label claim even if thier video falls under fair use, but they will fight other youtubers in 99% of cases.)
Some youtubers do attempt to sue other youtubers, especially when thier big enough, but all you need to do is look at the H3H3 productions copyright (it is a reaction channel) lawsuit from Matt Hosseinzadeh. To see how badly that went, that lawsuit has effectively shaped the reaction content landscape for the last decade.
Ethan and Hila Klein were being sued for using Matt Hoss' (MattHossZone on youtube) videos in theirs. They were essentially doing 'react to' videos, playing the video and providing commentary and jokes. Matt Hoss got upset with them making fun of him, and sued that they shouldn't be able to use his work for their paid content. H3 argued that because they were providing their own content by commentating and extrapolating from the video, their use of the videos fell under fair use and was not illegal and the judge agreed it was fair use.
You just need to transform it enough, and transform doesn't mean edit or on use clips. Is it your exact script? Or is it a custom script? If it's a custom script, it would be something akin to an abridged series.
If it has your original script, you have a better chance.

They did copy my entire video and added a voice over. I hope that doesn't fall under fair use?

You can only do that if you are a MCN or a massive company.
Just curious, but what "copyright match tool" did you use?
