How it works

From lesson video to captions and a transcript.

Do it lesson by lesson as you publish, or work through a back catalogue.

1

Upload the lesson

Drop the final video or its audio here (up to 500 MB; larger files continue on the upload page). MP4, MOV, MP3, M4A and WAV all work.

2

Review the text

Read through for course-specific terms, names and formulas spoken aloud. Timestamps take you straight to the moment in the video.

3

Export captions and text

SRT or VTT for the course platform, DOCX or TXT for a downloadable transcript, MD for lesson notes.

What course creators do with it

Captions for the player, text for the learner.

The same transcript covers several jobs that course creators usually do by hand.

Captions on every lesson

Upload the SRT or VTT file to your course platform so learners can follow along muted or at speed. Check which of the two formats your platform asks for.

Downloadable transcripts

Offer the DOCX or TXT export as a reading companion to each video, for learners who prefer to read or revise.

Long recorded lectures

A full lecture or workshop recording fits in one file of up to 10 hours or 5 GB, so there is no need to cut it up first.

A searchable course library

Transcripts stay in your searchable library, so you can find which lesson covered a topic when you plan an update or answer a student.

Tips for course captions

Keep captions in sync with the videos learners see.

Caption files are tied to the exact video they were made from.

Caption the final edit

Transcribe the finished video, not the raw recording. If you cut or re-edit a lesson later, make fresh captions so timings still match.

One lesson per file

A caption file per lesson video keeps uploads simple and timings aligned with each player.

Headset beats laptop mic

Screen-recorded lessons with a headset or clip-on microphone come out clearest. Room echo is the most common cause of errors.

Check terms of art

Jargon, code, product names and acronyms are the usual corrections. Search for each one across the transcript before you export.

FAQ

Course transcription, answered.

Can I get SRT or VTT captions for my course videos?

Yes. Every transcript exports as SRT and VTT caption files, along with TXT, DOCX, JSON and MD. Upload whichever caption format your course platform accepts.

How long can a lecture recording be?

Up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file. The upload box on this page takes files up to 500 MB, and larger files continue on the upload page.

Do captions stay in sync if I edit the video?

Captions match the video they were made from. If you cut or rearrange a lesson afterwards, transcribe the new version so the timings line up.

Can I give students a written transcript?

Yes. Export DOCX or TXT and attach it to the lesson as a reading companion.

Will it handle technical vocabulary?

Common terms come through well, but jargon, code, product names and acronyms are where most corrections happen. Search for them and check before you publish.
