Download Transcripts

Does anyone know if it is possible to download the entire transcript for a video that has been put on Stream? I wanted to take the transcript and use it to create a short summary for a blog.

Hi SarahFabius,

Yes, download the caption file in the Stream admin portal. Screenshot shown here.

This will also help

As Mark Mroz states, download the caption file from Stream (as in the first link) and then run it through this web utility which pulls out just the transcript text from the file (removing the time codes, metadata, and blank lines).

Hope that answers your question!

Best, Chris

I've got a customer who is getting this message when trying to download the .VTT file. Is it as simple as creating an association with Notepad or similar? Or is there another Windows setting that needs to change?

They want to download it so they can then run it through the web utility already mentioned on this thread.

NicoleReilly I got this same error - have not seen a response to your raising this question. Would love to know what to do as I am currently not able to download the caption transcript...
