Vimeo video to quotes with timestamps in Russian
Vimeo video to quotes with timestamps in Russian: send the file and get the text with the timecodes. One file may be up to 30 minutes on the free plan, no minute limit on Pro.
The Vimeo video becomes the list of quotations: the engine reads the Russian speech and the sections Who spoke, Quotes with timestamps, Themes are written from the transcript. The free plan gives 3 files a day of up to 30 minutes.
How to get the file and turn it into quotes with timestamps
- 1
Open the page of the video
The video is opened on vimeo.com, where the file can be taken; the embedded player does not work for it
- 2
Attach the recording
The file of the Vimeo video is sent as an attachment; the language of the speech is Russian, and the list of quotations comes back in the export of the service.
- 3
Ask for the list of quotations
The instruction of the task asks for the list of quotations and puts the answer about the Vimeo video into the sections Who spoke, Quotes with timestamps, Themes; a claim that is not in the recording is not written.
- 4
Tell the engine what it hears
The engine reads 99+ languages; this Vimeo video is in Russian, so the language of the widget is set to Russian for the list of quotations.
- 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
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.
What Vimeo keeps, and what it says about it
- Where the file is
A viewer can take a video only from the page of it on vimeo.com: the embedded player never gives the file.
- What the file is
The file is the video of the player in the quality that the owner of the video allowed.
- What can go wrong
When the owner switched the Downloads switch off under Share and in the viewer permissions, there is no Download button for the viewers.
- What the platform says
The owner of the video sees the Download button anyway, whatever the setting of the downloads is.
- What the platform says
A direct link of the API is short-lived: the download field gives links that are valid for 24 hours.
- Length of one file
up to 30 minutes on the free plan, no minute limit on Pro
- Free plan
$0: 3 files a day, up to 30 minutes per file, no card
- Pro plan
$10 a month when you pay yearly ($120 a year), or $20 a month
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. That is the part that depends on the Vimeo; everything after it is the work of the list of quotations, and it is the same for every recording.
Tips

Set the language of the Vimeo video before you send the file.
A file over 30 minutes has to be cut into parts; the Pro plan takes a recording of any length.
The owner of the video sees the Download button anyway, whatever the setting of the downloads is.
