Each videoask you create and every video or audio answer you receive automatically generates a transcript. While we do the best we can to make these as accurate as possible, sometimes things can still get a little funky. š
Use our caption or transcript editor to fix any errors or to add additional captions to your videos.

š” Tip: Currently, it's not possible to download transcriptions directly from your videoask. As a workaround, you can copy the text from transcriptions and paste it elsewhere.
Alternatively, if you're looking to download transcriptions from your responses, you can export your responses as a .csv or .xlsx file, or connect to our Google Sheets integration.
You'll then be able to reference your transcribed responses at any time or copy the text in bulk to use elsewhere.
