In short

How to transcribe a Vimeo video
- 1
Get the file of the video
The file of the video is what the owner of the page uploaded, and it holds the picture and the sound of the talk together. Take it as it is: there is no need to pull the audio track out of it first.
- 2
Upload the file
The file is up to 30 minutes, so a long lecture is cut into parts before the upload. Put it on the widget above, pick the language in the widget or let it be detected.

Make the subtitles and the notes
Every line carries the time it starts and ends. The export gives SRT or VTT for the player, DOCX on Pro for the notes of the session and TXT for the archive of the page.

What the transcript of a video contains
not analysed: the speech in the file is what is transcribed
SRT and VTT carry the start and the end time of every line
$0: 3 files a day. Pro is $10 a month paid yearly ($120 a year)
The case
Why a player without text helps nobody
A video of a lecture or a conference session is often the only version of that talk that exists. It sits on a page with a player and no text, so a search engine sees a player, a visitor hears twenty minutes to find one sentence, and a viewer who cannot use the sound gets nothing at all.
Tips
Check the first minute for the name of the speaker.
Export VTT for a player on the web, SRT for a video editor.
Keep the file of the video; the transcript is made from it.
Questions this page answers
Can a video that is not mine be transcribed?
Yes. The service reads a file that you upload and writes nothing back to the page it came from. Whether you may use the video is a question of the rights to it, not of the transcription.
Is the picture analysed too?
No. The speech in the file is what is transcribed, so a session of slides and a talk gives the text of the talk and not a description of the slides.
What if the talk is in Russian?
The engine reads 99+ languages, and the language of the file can be set in the widget or detected automatically. A Russian or mixed file is processed by our own engine outside the United States, and the audio is never used to train models for other customers.
How does the subtitle file reach the video?
Export the transcript as SRT or VTT and put the file next to the video; both formats carry the start and the end time of every line. The same text also goes out as DOCX on Pro, TXT, Markdown and CSV.
