Downloading Transcripts and Captions

Download your episode script as a text file or export captions as an SRT file for video use.

Downloading the Script#

There are two ways to get your script as a file:

From the Episode Script Panel#

1. Open the Episode Script panel for your episode.
2. In the panel header, click the download icon (next to the copy icon).
3. A file named script.xml downloads containing your full script content.

From the Import/Export Menu#

1. In the script editor toolbar, click the three-dot menu icon.
2. Click Export Script.
3. A .txt file downloads, named after your episode title, with speaker labels in brackets (e.g., [Host Name]).

Copying the Script to Clipboard#

In the Episode Script panel header, click the copy icon to copy the entire script content to your clipboard.

Downloading Captions (SRT)#

Captions are available for episodes that have generated audio with alignment data.

From the Episode Actions Dropdown#

1. Navigate to your podcast's episode list.
2. Click the three-dot menu on the episode row.
3. Click Download Captions (SRT).
4. An .srt file downloads, named after your episode title.

This option is only available when the episode has a captions file (typically after publishing or generating audio with captions enabled). If the option is grayed out, the episode doesn't have captions yet.

From the Episode Detail Page#

Published episodes also show a dedicated captions download button (a closed-caption icon) on the episode detail page.

Frequently Asked Questions#

What format are captions exported in?

Captions are exported as SRT files, which is the standard format for timed captions. SRT files work with YouTube, social media platforms, and most video editors.

Why is the Download Captions option grayed out?

The Download Captions option is only available when the episode has a captions file, which is typically generated after publishing or generating audio with captions enabled. Generate audio first to enable this option.
