Drop the training video or its audio, fix product names and acronyms once, and download an SRT or VTT for the tool your learners watch it in. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
How it works
Take the file from your screen recorder, the meeting recording or the authoring tool's media folder. Zoom links are not fetched, so download Zoom recordings first.
Internal tool names, product names and acronyms are where errors cluster. Correct them on the transcript once; the caption file carries the correction.
Download .vtt or .srt and add it to the video in Stream, your authoring tool, your LMS or your video host.
Which format each tool takes
Both formats come from the same transcript at no extra charge, so keep both with the video's source files.
Recording for good captions
Private by default
Transcribed on our own servers; audio is never sent to a third-party AI service. Never used to train, fine-tune or evaluate any model. Delete a recording and its transcript at any time; account deletion removes every record tied to the email.
For a library of onboarding videos already in Google Drive, import the folder from the Library and export TXT and SRT back to Drive: training videos from Google Drive. For recorded meetings rather than produced training, see Zoom recording to SRT; for recorded interviews with candidates, the hiring interviews use case.
Before you rely on it
Each cue holds at most two lines of about 42 characters and stays on screen for one to seven seconds, breaking at the end of a sentence or clause where it can. The words are exactly the transcript's; only the breaks are chosen for the screen.
Cue times are taken from the recording itself, so the file lines up with the video or audio you uploaded. If you trim the start of the video afterwards, shift the cues by the same amount in your editor.
On public test recordings, about 7 words in 100 differed from the reference for clean English read speech, between 4 and 9 in 100 for Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, French and German, and about 21 in 100 for Hindi. Noisy rooms, music and crosstalk do worse. Method and every number: the benchmark.
Open the transcript, correct a misheard name or number on its line, and the SRT and VTT you download carry the correction with the timing unchanged.
You get the subtitle file. Fonts, colours, position and captions drawn into the picture are done in your video editor or player, which reads this file.
