Export and copy

Export a transcript to share it, edit it in another program or use it as captions on a video.

Export a transcript

1. Open a finished transcript and choose Export in the toolbar, or press Ctrl or Cmd + Shift + E. The Export transcript dialog opens.

2. If you have a finished translation, pick the text under Version: Original or the translated language. The Version list only appears once a translation is done.

3. Pick a Format. The formats on each plan are listed under the steps.

4. Under Include, tick what you want.

5. Check the File name line, then choose Download.

Formats available on Free: TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT and VTT. On Unlimited: TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT and VTT.

Scribewren remembers your Format and Include choices in this browser, so the next export starts from them.

Choose what to include

Option	What it does
Speaker names	Puts the speaker name in front of each passage.
Timestamps	Adds the start time of each passage.

For the caption formats SRT and VTT the options change:

• Speaker prefix in captions replaces Speaker names and adds the speaker name at the start of a caption.
• Timestamps is hidden, because caption files always carry times.
• Captions are laid out with at most 42 characters per line (16 for Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean and Thai) and 2 lines per caption.

Copy the text

Choose Copy text to copy the transcript as plain text to your clipboard. It uses the Version and Include options you picked. It does not matter which Format is selected.

You can also copy a single AI note with its Copy button. See AI notes.

If an export fails

If the dialog says Export took too long., choose Try again. If it keeps failing, see Troubleshooting.

Note

An export reflects the transcript as it is saved. Wait for the save indicator to read Saved before you export, so your latest edits are included.
