The transcript of a Vimeo talk
Vimeo transcript: the text of a talk with the time of every line, to publish on the page of the video for the people who cannot use the sound. Free $0.
Upload the audio of the talk and you get its text, with the time of every line, to publish on the page of the video. One file is up to 30 minutes, so a session fits into one file. The free plan is $0 with 3 files a day.
How to put the transcript of a Vimeo talk on the page
- 1
Take the audio of the talk
The file of the video is enough, and the file of the audio is better. One file is up to 30 minutes, so a session of a conference fits without being cut.
- 2
Get the text with the times
The transcript comes back with the start and the end of every line, so a quotation from the stage can be linked to the minute it was said.
- 3
Correct the names on the stage
The speakers of a panel are the names the machine gets wrong most often. The editor in the app lets you fix a line before it goes onto the page.
- 4
Put the text under the player
Markdown for a site or a wiki, TXT for a plain page, DOCX for the archive of the session, CSV when the chapters have to line up with the times.

A page with only a player helps nobody
A talk on Vimeo has one reader who cannot use the sound: the visitor who arrives at the page, does not turn the sound on, and leaves. The talk itself is the content, and a page that carries only a player gives the search engines nothing and the visitor nothing either. A transcript on the page turns the video into text that can be read, quoted and indexed, and the timing of every line is still there under it.
Tips
Put the transcript under the player, not behind a link.
Correct the names of the speakers first.
A quotation with a minute is worth more.
Check the first minute for the title of the talk.
Questions this page answers
Why put a transcript on the page of a video?
Three reasons that are plain: the words of the talk become text that a search engine can read, the people who cannot use the sound get the same content, and a quotation can be pointed at the second it was said.
Should a person do it instead of a machine?
Rev publishes human transcription at $1.99 a minute, guaranteed in 12 hours, and a single AI transcription at $0.25 a minute (rev.com/pricing, read on 22 October 2026). The machine makes the first draft; a person fixes the names.
How long can the talk be?
One file is up to 30 minutes at the most, so a conference session fits into one file and a full day of talks does not. The long ones are cut into parts.
Which format for the page of the video?
Markdown for a site or a wiki, TXT for a plain page, DOCX for the archive of the session, and CSV when the chapters have to keep the times next to the words.
