Click "Get Transcript" and wait for the AI to process the video audio. Processing takes 30 to 90 seconds for most videos. The transcript streams in real-time as it's generated.
Download your file
Click the Download button and choose your preferred format. TXT gives you clean plain text. SRT gives you a subtitle file with timestamps that can be imported into video editors.
Download formats
TXT — Plain Text
A clean text file with the full transcript and optional timestamps. Perfect for note-taking, research, content repurposing, or importing into documents. Opens in any text editor on any platform.
SRT — Subtitle File
The industry-standard subtitle format with precise timestamps. Import directly into video editors like Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve. Also compatible with media players like VLC for viewing captions offline.
Why download a transcript?
An online transcript viewer is useful for quick reference, but a downloadable file gives you permanent access. You can search through transcripts offline, share them with colleagues, import them into research tools, or use them as the basis for blog posts and articles.
Video editors download SRT files to add subtitles to their own content or to reference timestamps when editing clips from longer videos.
Researchers download TXT files to build searchable archives of interview transcripts, lecture notes, and documentary content.
Content creators download transcripts to repurpose YouTube content into blog posts, newsletter copy, or social media threads without having to re-watch and manually transcribe.
Students download transcripts of lectures, tutorials, and educational videos to create study notes they can highlight, annotate, and search through during exam preparation.
