In short

Transcribsi reads the Vimeo video in English and writes the list of quotations. The file comes off the platform as it is, one file may be up to 30 minutes, and the free plan gives 3 files a day.

How it works

How to get the file and turn it into quotes with timestamps

  1. 1

    Mind the life of the link

    A link of the API lives 24 hours, so the file is better taken while the link is fresh

  2. 2

    Attach the recording

    The engine takes the Vimeo video from the widget of the page; the speech is in English, and the list of quotations comes back with the timecodes.

  3. 3

    Ask the task for the list of quotations

    The text of the Vimeo video is given to the instruction of the list of quotations, and the answer is written in the sections Who spoke, Quotes with timestamps, Themes, one after another.

  4. 4

    Tell the engine what it hears

    The engine reads 99+ languages; the speech of this Vimeo video is in English, and the widget carries that setting for the list of quotations.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    The file is the video of the player in the quality that the owner of the video allowed

The result

What comes back from the engine

  • TXT

    One segment per line, the way a person wrote it down. It is the format to paste into a ticket, a chat or a document.

  • TXT, CSV

    The start and the end time of every segment, and the speakers named separately when you ask for it.

  • SRT, VTT

    SRT and VTT with the time of every line, so the recording can carry its own subtitles.

  • Markdown, DOCX

    The transcript is edited through the API and exported as Markdown for a wiki, or as DOCX for a review.

The case

What the recording does not give you

A viewer can take a video only from the page of it on vimeo.com: the embedded player never gives the file. The Vimeo video is only the input: the engine reads the English speech and writes the list of quotations out of the transcript.
