What the Transcript Helps With

Interview review

Search long interviews for memorable lines, names, dates, and story beats.

Narration scripts

Compare spoken narration against script drafts and edit notes.

Caption workflows

Export SRT or VTT as a caption starting point for review cuts.

Upload-Based Workflow

These pages are written for uploaded audio or video files. For video platforms, export a file you are allowed to process instead of pasting a video-page URL.

  1. Export the documentary interview, audio track, or review cut as a file.
  2. Upload the audio or video file.
  3. Review names, archival references, and quoted lines before using them in final materials.
