Download the recording from Loom as an MP4, drop it here, and get SRT and VTT you can attach wherever the video is going next: a help centre, a course, YouTube or an edit.
How it works
Open the recording on Loom, open the three-dot menu and choose Download. You get an MP4 of the screen and voice.
A ten-minute walkthrough is a small file and is usually transcribed in about a minute.
Correct product names and jargon on the transcript first, then download the subtitle file.
Why leave Loom for subtitles
Loom shows its own captions in its player, which is fine while the video lives on Loom. The moment the recording moves, those captions do not come with it. An SRT or VTT file does:
Screen recordings, specifically
Loom recordings are one voice close to a laptop microphone, which is about the easiest audio there is. Two things are still worth a look before you publish:
A Loom share link on its own is not a supported source; use the downloaded MP4.
Sample output
WEBVTT 00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:46.500 fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation conceived in in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition 00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:50.300 that all men are created equal. 00:00:50.300 --> 00:00:57.500 Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived 00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:01.620 and so dedicated, can long endure. 00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:07.920 We are met on a great battlefield of that war we have come to dedicate a portion of that field 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:14.240 as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that their nation might live 00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:18.800 it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this
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
Download the recording from Loom as an MP4, upload it in the box on this page, and download SRT or VTT from the transcript.
Use the downloaded MP4 instead. Loom share pages are not a supported link source, and the file gives a reliable result.
Loom generates and edits captions inside its own player. The SRT and VTT you download here are for the places the video goes outside Loom: YouTube, a course platform, a help centre or a video editor.
VTT. It is the format browser video players load as a caption track. Use SRT for video editors and for YouTube.
A single voice near the microphone is the easiest case. On public test recordings of clean English read speech about 7 words in 100 differed from the reference; product names are the errors to look for.
Every page in this set uses the same upload box and the same export. All subtitle pages
Free preview. SRT and VTT from the same upload; packs from $4 when the full transcript needs one.
