Subtitles and export
Hello, I wanted to know if it was possible to export the subtitles from Stream in a text format once generated? Thank you.
ChrisHoardMVP and FredJoucla - I just created a little web utility that takes in the downloaded VTT file and clears out everything except the transcript text. I hope this helps a bit.
See the section at the end of the help docs here:
- Hi FredJoucla
Yes, it is possible to download the caption file from the stream video. Please see article here

Hope that answers your question!

ChrisHoardMVP What about a find/replace feature for words- or training it to recognize certain words more accurately? I recently recorded a seminar and uploaded and had to edit the many variations of the word "Bluebeam" to about 5x different interpretations?
Also the editor is a pain to operate to correct words/terms. needs an "Edit transcript" mode to click on each line of the transcript and playback feature (as it has) without continuing to the next line. Also a "merge" feature for minutes of conversation or text would be useful.
An audio ID would also be useful based on voice recog- but that may be pushing things a bit : )

I like your ideas. These would be good ideas to raise on the official uservoice here:

There is a lot of exciting development with Stream ahead. Unfortunately, I'm not part of the product team and so can't confirm that any of this is on the radar - however, I am sure that these have been thought of at some point. I would vote for the uservoices if you raise them. Make sure to search the uservoice first as somebody could have previously raised for it.
Best, Chris
