How to use Video Transcripts?

Create, search, edit, translate, and export video transcripts.

👀 Availability

Video Transcript may use credits. Upload source, video length, translation, and export options can depend on your plan.

Use Video Transcripts when you need a readable text version of the dialogue or narration in a video.

Transcripts are useful for reviewing exact wording, copying quotes, creating notes, preparing captions, translating content, or searching through long dialogue or narration faster.

Open Video Transcripts

  • Go to My Workspace.

  • Open Video Transcripts, or open the Transcript tab inside a video workspace if you already created a Video Summary.

You can find Video Transcripts on the home page with other WayinVideo tools.

Upload or import your video

Add a video by uploading a file, pasting a YouTube link, or using another supported video link.

After adding your video, WayinVideo will prepare the transcript. Processing is very fast, even hours-long videos are typically transcribed in just a few minutes.

For best results, use a video with clear speech and limited background noise. If the audio is hard to hear, use Speech Enhancer before creating transcript-based results.

Read the transcript

After the transcript is ready, open the Transcript tab.

You may be able to:

  • Read the full transcript

  • View timestamps

  • Jump to the matching part of the video

  • Search for words or phrases

  • Review subtitle text

  • Download the transcript if available

Use timestamps when you want to verify a quote, review the surrounding context, or return to an important explanation.

Search within the transcript

Use transcript search when you know a word, phrase, name, topic, or quote that appears in the dialogue or narration.

For example, you can search for:

  • A speaker name

  • A product name

  • A technical term

  • A repeated phrase

  • A question

  • A quote you want to reuse

  • A topic discussed in the video

If you want to search for something visual, such as a character appearing on screen, a gesture, an action, a scene, or an emotional moment, use Find Moments instead.

When to use transcripts

  • Copy exact quotes

  • Search dialogue or narration
