The file you have

What VEGAS Pro gives you, and what to render.

Project file: A .veg. It only references your media and cannot be uploaded here.
Render for transcription: File → Render As, then the MP3 Audio or Wave (Microsoft) format. An MP4 render works too but takes longer.
Where it lands: In the Folder shown at the bottom of the Render As dialog; change it there before you render.
Typical size: An hour of MP3 is 60–110 MB; WAV is about 600 MB an hour.

There is no link to paste for this one. Get the file onto your phone or computer first, then upload it in the box above.

How it works

Three steps, the first one is the only one that takes any thought.

Render the audio

File → Render As, pick MP3 Audio or Wave, check the folder and render.

Drop the file here

MP3, WAV and MP4 upload as they are.

Bring the captions back

Export SRT from the transcript and bring it into VEGAS through File → Import → Closed Captioning, or upload it next to the video where you publish.

Good to know

What trips people up, and what to do about it.

Render the whole timeline. If 'Render loop region only' is ticked, only the selected loop is rendered and transcribed.
Muted and soloed tracks render as they sound. Unmute the dialogue track before rendering.
Render after the final cut so caption timings match the edit you publish.
Several cameras, one take: render once from the edited timeline rather than uploading each camera's file; you pay for minutes once.

Example. A 35-minute wedding speech compilation is rendered from VEGAS Pro as a 32 MB MP3. The transcript is back in about a minute and the couple get the speeches as text alongside the film.

What comes back

More than a wall of text.

The same four things for every VEGAS Pro recording, whatever its length.

A transcript with timestamps

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 summary, chapters and key quotes

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.

Questions answered from the recording

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.

Every export

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

Free preview. Packs from $4, and the minutes never expire.

A 35-minute speech compilation is 35 minutes, so the $4 pack (300 minutes) covers it 8 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.

FAQ

VEGAS Pro to text, answered.

Can I upload a .veg project?

No. Render it with File → Render As to MP3, WAV or MP4 and upload the rendered file.

Which render format is fastest?

MP3 Audio. It holds the same speech as the video in a much smaller file.

How do I use the transcript as captions in VEGAS Pro?

Export it as SRT and import it with File → Import → Closed Captioning, or upload the SRT with the finished video on YouTube or Vimeo.

What does transcribing VEGAS Pro recordings cost?

The preview is free, and so is the summary in 31 countries or for recordings of an hour or more. A pack opens the full transcript: $4 for 300 minutes, $18 for 3,000 minutes, $32 for 6,000 minutes. Packs are one-time, credits never expire, and Workspace is $19 a month if you transcribe every week.

How long can the recording be?

One file can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB. The box on this page takes files up to 500 MB; a larger file continues on the main upload page, which uploads it in parts. Most recordings come back in about two minutes per hour of audio.

Is the recording kept private?

Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. You can delete a recording and its transcript at any time.
