About Transcription formats

« To Transcriptions: Overview

You can use transcriptions to add captions to your media or to create other text-based content. After recording, you can download transcriptions in the TXT and SRT file formats.

The files include any corrections you make to the text in the editor. 

Transcript – TXT

The TXT transcript is a text file that you can open in Notes, NotePad, Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or other word-processing software to repurpose and edit it.

The text transcript is divided into paragraphs with a timestamp each time someone new begins speaking.

On the recording dashboard, you can also copy-transcript.svg Copy the transcript to your clipboard.

Subtitles/Captions – SRT

The SRT file is formatted for use with video editing or media player software to show the captions during playback.

This 'subtitles' or 'captions' file is divided into short lines that refresh the on-screen text every few seconds. It includes frequent timestamps.

Timestamps allow the SRT's text to be used as captions for a video by controlling when the text is displayed. For example, you can add the transcript to a video on YouTube, integrate them into your Adobe Premiere Pro workflow, or play them back with media in a desktop program.

The SRT file does not include any customizations you add to captions in the editor, such as typeface, text size, animation style, colors, capitalization, line control, characters per line, and alignment.
