How to transcribe a Loom video
- 1Open the video in Loom and use the Download option in the video menu (available if you're the owner or the owner allows it).
- 2Upload the MP4 to the tool above.
- 3Choose the language and press Transcribe.
- 4Download the text as Word or TXT, or the subtitles as SRT or VTT.
Loom already has transcripts: when is this worth it?
- You need the text as a document: a step-by-step guide, an internal procedure or training material built from a walkthrough video.
- You want SRT subtitles to publish the video elsewhere, such as YouTube or your course platform.
- Someone sent you the video as a file and you don't have access to the original Loom workspace.
- The video is in a language Loom's automatic transcript doesn't handle well.
From walkthrough video to written docs
Loom videos are usually screen walkthroughs: how to use a tool, review a design or run a process. With the transcript you can turn each video into a searchable written guide and keep the video as backup. Use the timestamps to add screenshots at the key moments.
If you're publishing the video, see how to use SRT subtitles. For other videos, the general guide is video to text.
