Downloading Transcriptions

Download transcripts, captions, and subtitles in the formats you need.

In Transcribe 1.1.4 and later, transcripts and captions/subtitles have separate download options. You can preview captions and subtitles before downloading.

Download a transcription for one file or download every transcription in a job.

Downloading a transcription for one file

On the View Transcription page, open the menu in the upper-right corner. Choose from:

• Copy to clipboard

• Download transcript

• Download captions/subtitles

Downloading a transcript

Select Download transcript to open the download dialog. Choose either format:

• Text file (.txt)

• Word document (.docx)

You can group consecutive utterances from the same speaker into one segment.

Downloading captions or subtitles (Pro models only)

Select Download captions/subtitles to open the dialog. Review captions and subtitles in the preview. Then choose a format and subtitle options. Supported formats are:

• Subrip (.srt)

• Web Video Text Tracks (.vtt), which supports text highlighting

This option is available while your audio or video remains available, for up to seven days. It is not supported by the Flash (Gemini) model.

Manual transcript edits do not apply to captions or subtitles.

Captions, subtitles, and word-level timestamps use the ASR model's raw timestamps. Manual edits on the View Transcription page will not apply to these formats. Please edit the downloaded files directly.

Set the maximum characters per line and lines per caption or subtitle. For English, use up to 32 characters per line and two lines per caption or subtitle. Other languages may need different limits.

You can include speaker names and edit them in Edit speakers. Select Highlight each word for karaoke-style captions. This option is available only for .vtt files.
