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

ChrisHoardMVP Thanks Chris. Very useful. Now if only it put in newlines for sentences rather than the whole transcript on one line 😉..... although a quick find and replace on "." sorted it.
