How to export a long transcript to Word, as one DOCX.
Transcribe the recording, open the finished transcript and download DOCX: Word opens it as one document with the timestamps in the text, for recordings up to 10 hours or 5 GB, processed at about 2 minutes per audio hour. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.
Recording to .docx
The Word file is the easy part. Here is what to do with a long one.
From recording to DOCX
Upload the audio or video, or paste a YouTube, Vimeo, Drive, Twitch, Kick or RSS link. When the transcript is ready, choose DOCX among the exports on the transcript page and the file downloads in one piece, however many hours it covers. Word opens it directly, and so do Pages and LibreOffice; upload it to Google Drive and Google Docs converts it when you open it.
How long the document gets
Speech runs at roughly 10,000 words an hour: the public 9.31-hour run at /proof/long-files came to 95,578 words. A 3-hour interview therefore lands near 30,000 words, the length of a short book. Give Word a moment to open it, then move with the navigation pane or Find rather than by scrolling.
Make it a working document
Word's own tools do the rest. Fix a surname misheard the same way throughout with Find and Replace, add headings at the chapter times listed in the summary, leave comments where a passage needs checking, and turn on Track Changes before a colleague edits. Speakers are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, so copy names into the document where your format calls for them.
When another export suits better
For captions, take SRT or VTT. For a spreadsheet or a script, JSON keeps each segment with its start and end time. TXT pastes cleanly into anything. All five come from the same run, so a time in the DOCX matches the same line in the SRT.
Copying from a page versus a DOCX
Select-all on 40,000 words is not an export.
✗ Copying text out by hand
What long transcripts turn into without a real export.
- Select-all on a page that keeps scrolling
- Formatting lost on paste
- Timestamps dropped or jumbled
- A browser tab that slows to a crawl
- Parts glued together from several files
- Text that ends where a free tier ended
✓ A DOCX export
One file, ready for Word.
- One document for the whole recording
- Timestamps kept in the text
- Opens in Word, Pages, LibreOffice and Google Docs
- Same run as the SRT, VTT, TXT and JSON
- Summary and chapters to build headings from
- Up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file

FAQ
Long transcripts in Word, answered.
Can I download a long transcript as a Word document?
Yes. DOCX is one of the five exports, and it holds the whole transcript in one document, as long as the recording, with the timestamps in the text.
Is the DOCX export free?
A first-time visitor's opening minutes are transcribed free. The full transcript and the exports, DOCX included, open with a pack from $4. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.
Does the Word file show who is speaking?
Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters. The DOCX carries the transcript text with its timestamps, so add names in Word wherever your format needs them.
My recording runs past 10 hours. Can I still get one Word file?
One recording can run up to 10 hours, so a longer one goes up as two files and comes back as two DOCX files. Paste the second into the first in Word; its times restart at zero, so note the length of part one if you cite times.
Can I open the DOCX in Google Docs?
Yes. Upload it to Google Drive and open it with Google Docs, which converts it to a Doc. Pages and LibreOffice Writer open it as it is.
Does it work in other languages, and is the recording private?
99 languages are detected automatically, and the DOCX comes out in the language that was spoken. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
