Export transcripts in the right format

After transcription, download your transcript as TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, or VTT. Start with the format guides below, then use comparison pages for decisions like VTT vs DOCX or SRT vs VTT vs TXT.

Match the export to the job after transcription

Use SRT subtitles when a video editor or platform expects broad subtitle compatibility. Use VTT captions for web players that need a WebVTT file, and compare SRT vs VTT vs TXT when you are choosing between captions and plain text.

For review work, choose DOCX transcripts when people need comments or edits, and choose PDF transcripts when the result should be fixed for sharing or archive. The DOCX vs PDF guide covers that handoff directly.

Start from the source if you have not transcribed yet

Export choices are easier once the source is clear. For audio files, start with MP3 to text or M4A to text; for screen recordings, webinars, and training videos, start with MP4 to text.
