How to Export Transcripts to TXT, SRT, VTT and More

Once you have a transcript, exporting it is a single click from the transcript detail view or the Library screen — you can also export several transcripts at once (see batch processing).

Available formats

• TXT — plain text, ideal for pasting into a document or CMS. Free.
• SRT — timestamped subtitle format, supported by YouTube, video editors, and most players. Free.
• VTT — the web-standard subtitle format, used for HTML5 video players. Pro.
• DOCX — a formatted Word document, ready to share or edit. Pro.
• PDF — a clean, print-ready document. Pro.
• CSV — timestamps and text as spreadsheet rows, useful for data analysis. Pro.
• JSON — the full structured transcript (segments, timestamps, speakers), for feeding into other tools. Pro.
• Timestamped Markdown — a Markdown document with inline timestamps, handy for notes tools like Obsidian or Notion. Pro.

Export options

When exporting, you can choose whether to include timestamps, speaker labels, and any AI analysis output alongside the transcript text — useful when you want a clean read-through version versus a fully annotated one.

Free vs. Pro

The free plan includes TXT and SRT exports — enough to get a usable transcript or a set of subtitles out of ScribeForge at no cost. The remaining formats (VTT, DOCX, PDF, CSV, JSON, timestamped Markdown) are part of every paid plan. See pricing for the full comparison.
