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.
