What does the Vimeo keep for the Vimeo video?
A viewer can take a video only from the page of it on vimeo.com: the embedded player never gives the file. The file of the Vimeo video is the input of the engine, and the blog post is written from it.

Transcribsi reads the Vimeo video in English and writes the blog post. 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 to get the file and turn it into a blog post
- 1
Press Download
The Download button under the player gives the file of the video when the owner of the video allowed it
- 2
Upload the file
The Vimeo video goes to the service through the upload widget; the speech is English, and the blog post comes back into the chat.
- 3
Run the instruction of the blog post
The instruction of the task asks for the blog post and puts the answer about the Vimeo video into the sections Headline and lead, Outline, Draft; a claim that is not in the recording is not written.
- 4
Mark the language of the speech
The engine reads 99+ languages; the speech of this Vimeo video is in English, and the widget carries that setting for the blog post.
- 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.
