The file you have

What WeVideo gives you, and what to export.

Export for transcription
In the export panel choose the audio-only (MP3) option; a normal MP4 export works too.
Where it lands
Your browser's Downloads folder when you download the finished export.
Share links
WeVideo viewing pages are web pages. Download the export and upload the file.
Typical size
An hour of MP3 is 60–110 MB.

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.

1

Export audio only

Finish the project and choose the audio-only MP3 option in the export panel, then download it.

2

Drop the MP3 here

It uploads as it is.

3

Add the captions

Export SRT or VTT from the transcript, then export the video again in WeVideo and use Upload Captions in the export panel.

Good to know

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

Example. A 9-minute student documentary is exported from WeVideo as an 8 MB MP3. The transcript is back in well under a minute and the VTT goes back in through Upload Captions for the class showcase.

What comes back

More than a wall of text.

The same four things for every WeVideo 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 9-minute student video is 9 minutes, so the $4 pack (300 minutes) covers it 33 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.

Pick a pack to open secure checkout. Workspace is $19 a month for unlimited transcription (300-hour fair-use mark). Full pricing

What we measured, last 30 days

3,332 recordings, 2,490 audio hours, 65 languages detected. An hour of audio came back in 3.1 minutes for half of the recordings and within 17.5 minutes for nine in ten, measured from the moment the file landed to the finished transcript. Refreshed 2026-10-28; method on how we test.

FAQ

WeVideo to text, answered.

Can I paste a WeVideo link?

No. Download the export from WeVideo and upload the file.

How do I add the captions in WeVideo?

In the export panel use Upload Captions and pick the SRT or VTT exported from the transcript.

Is the MP3 export enough for a transcript?

Yes. The words come from the sound, so the MP3 gives the same transcript as the video.

What does transcribing WeVideo 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.
