Hello! Is there a way that someone viewing a video from Clipscribe can download the full text as they’re watching the video?

Craig Staff replied 2 years ago

@Brian Smith Hey Brian! It isn’t possible from the video itself, but you can link an SRT file which you can download from us in your website or social media post. Use the SRT download option, but this puts your subtitles in subtitle editor form, so not super user-friendly. From the download area in the video editor and the download area in the in-progress area on the My Uploads page there is a little blog icon you can click. It puts your transcript into paragraph form into a blog editor so you can tidy it up and copy and paste it your blog, but you could also just copy and paste it into an txt file.

I hadn’t though of this option, so I have added to our planning list the option to export it as a txt file.

Let me know if this doesn’t’ answer your question or you have any follow-up.
Thanks!
Craig

Hi Craig!

Thank you for getting back with us so quickly!

Do you have an example/sample for what this would look like? So is there an “SRT” button I can click on one of our current videos to try this out with? 🙂

@Brian Smith Sure you can use it on any current videos you have. Here is a video showing you how to get to those buttons: https://www.loom.com/share/f15fc98635e64aa4bc530a7f3906ddec
Again, the SRT file is not really in human readable format. It is for software and only good if you are exporting your subtitles to be imported into another video software.
