How it works
Open the export dialog, set Export To to audio only on the Advanced tab, check the folder and export.
The audio file or an MP4 export uploads as it is.
Export SRT or VTT from the transcript and paste its text into the Caption effect's caption text on a clip, or upload the SRT with the video where you publish it.
Good to know
What comes back
The same four things for every OpenShot recording, whatever its length.
Every line carries its time. Click a line to hear that second again, or search a name or phrase and jump to each place it was said.
A brief with the takeaways, chapters with their start times, and the quotes worth keeping. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.
Ask where a topic came up or what was decided, and get the answer with the time it was said, instead of scrolling the whole text.
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, JSON from the same transcript: a document to edit, caption files for video, plain text to paste, structured data for your own tools.
Pricing
A 20-minute class video is 20 minutes, so the $4 pack (300 minutes) covers it 15 times over. Every recording gets a free preview, and in 31 countries, or for recordings of an hour or more in most others, a summary you can read before paying; a pack opens the full transcript and every export. Packs are one-time purchases with no subscription and no seat fee.
