Good to know

Selecting more than one transcript or format creates a ZIP. Subtitles and CSV always include timing, even when document timestamps are turned off.

Choose a format that fits the job

Open a completed transcript and click Export. Every export format is included on both Free and Pro. Choose one or more formats in the download dialog.

Decide whether your document needs timestamps

Leave Include timestamps in text and documentschecked if readers need to find the original moment in the audio. Turn it off for a cleaner reading copy. This option applies to text and document exports. CSV, SRT, and VTT always keep their timing because it is part of their structure. Click Download export when your choices are ready.

Export several recordings or formats together

In your library, select the checkboxes beside the recordings you need, then click Export in the selection bar. Completed recordings can be exported; wait for processing recordings to finish before including them in a download.

Multiple transcripts or multiple formats are packaged into one ZIP. Extract the ZIP on your device to access the individual files. For example, choose DOCX for your editor and PDF for your reviewer in the same export.

Select recordings with the checkboxes, then choose Export in the selection bar above the list.

Check subtitles against the original video

Correct the transcript before downloading SRT or VTT, then import the file into your video tool using its caption or subtitle import command. Preview the beginning, middle, and end against the original recording. Trimmed or rearranged video may need caption timing adjustments in your video editor. You can use Resegment transcript to make shorter sections before exporting.
