In short

Take the video file of the post and upload it: the text comes back with a timecode on every line and the speakers named, so the file gives you the post and its captions. A file holds up to 30 minutes; free is $0 with 3 files a day.

How it works

How to get the text of a LinkedIn video

  1. 1

    Get hold of the video file

    If the post is your own, take the file you uploaded. If it belongs to somebody else, ask them for the original — a copy that somebody recorded off the screen works as well, as long as the speech is audible.

  2. 2

    Upload it on this page

    Drop the file on the widget above: up to 30 minutes on the free plan. Leave the language on automatic detection, or set 99+ languages, and turn on the speaker split if two people talk.

  3. 3

    Cut the captions out of the text

    Every line carries the time it starts and ends, so a caption can be given the length a video player accepts. Export SRT or VTT for subtitles, TXT or Markdown for the text of the post.

The case

A post is a link, a video is a file

The post and the video are two different things. A video in a feed carries the speech of a person or a whole meeting, while the post around it carries only a link and a sentence of context. What the post cannot give you is the place of a sentence inside the video, and that is exactly what a line of text with a timecode does.

Tips

  • Keep the original upload, not a screenshot of it.

  • Name the file after the post, not after the day.

  • Split the speakers when two voices share the video.

  • Export SRT first when the post needs captions.

Questions this page answers

Can the transcript become captions for the post?

Yes. Export SRT or VTT and the timecodes are already inside the file, so the subtitle track follows the video without anyone typing the timing by hand.

What if the video is longer than 30 minutes?

Cut it into parts before the upload. The service takes one file of up to 30 minutes and does not split a long video for you, so the cut is your step to make.

Does the service see my LinkedIn account?

No. There is no connection between LinkedIn and this service: you upload a file from your computer, and the account, the contacts and the messages stay out of it.

How much does it cost to transcribe one video?

The free plan is $0 with 3 files a day and up to 30 minutes per file, no card. Pro is $10 a month when you pay yearly, or $20 a month when you pay monthly.
