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

GmsDave I also cannot see the download link, but only for video people shared with me. I can see a transcription for that shared video, but no place to download it.

However, on my own content, I may choose "Update video details" and on that panel, I can see how to download transcripts for streams I made.

MarkTab Probably the next day or two later, those options showed up for me again, and I've had them ever since. I wonder if there was just a service outage or upgrade going on at the moment in time to disable those features for me.
