Paste the link to a finished Kick stream or clip and download SRT or VTT. Kick refuses many automated fetches, so when a link fails, upload the saved VOD instead: the result is the same file. Stream links need a pack before the fetch starts; uploads and clips get the free preview.
How it works
Open the past broadcast or clip on Kick and copy its address. Channel links to a stream that is still live cannot be used until the stream ends.
A VOD link asks for a pack first, sized to the stream's length. If Kick refuses the fetch you are told within seconds; upload your saved copy of the stream, or just its audio, instead.
Open the transcript and download the subtitle file. The chapters beside it point to the parts of a long stream worth clipping.
How reliable Kick links are
Kick puts its replays behind checks that turn away many automated downloads. In the last two months most Kick links pasted here were refused by Kick and a minority went through. Clips and recent VODs do best. So treat the link as the quick first try, and the file as the route that always works:
What you can do with the file
Kick's player has no upload for subtitle files, so the SRT is for what happens after the stream: cutting highlights with the words already timed in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or CapCut, uploading the replay to YouTube with a checked caption track, or translating the subtitles for viewers in another language.
If you only want the text of the stream to search or quote, Kick VOD to text is the shorter page. Twitch replays are covered in Twitch VOD to SRT.

Real output, unedited: a public-domain LibriVox reading of the Gettysburg Address (2 min 41 s) transcribed here in October 2026. The repeated word and the missing capitals are what came back; you would fix those on the transcript before downloading.
Before you rely on it
Each cue is a phrase from the transcript with its start and end time. Most run a few seconds. A passage spoken without a pause can come out as one long cue of up to about half a minute, so split those in your editor if your platform wants two short lines at a time.
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.

FAQ
Kick does not provide a subtitle file for replays. To get one, paste the VOD link or upload the downloaded VOD here and download SRT or VTT made from the speech.
Kick turns away many automated downloads, so a share of links cannot be fetched. Upload your own recording or saved copy of the stream instead; subtitles made from the file are identical.
No. Only finished recordings can be transcribed. Use the replay once the stream has ended.
Up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file. For very long streams, uploading the extracted audio is much faster than uploading the video.
Usage is per minute of audio: 480 minutes for an 8-hour stream, which fits inside the smallest pack of 500 minutes for $4.
Every page in this set uses the same upload box and the same export. All subtitle pages
If Kick refuses the link, upload the file. Free preview on uploads; VOD links need a pack first, from $4.
