TXT, SRT, VTT, or JSON: Which Transcript Export Should You Use?
Choose the right transcript format for writing, subtitles, web video, or structured data.
TXT for reading and writing
TXT is the simplest export. Use it for notes, article drafts, searchable archives, and copying transcript text into another editor.
SRT and VTT for captions
SRT stores numbered caption blocks with timestamps and works with many video editors and players. VTT is designed for web video and supports browser-friendly caption workflows.
JSON for another application
JSON preserves structured data such as transcript text, timestamps, and segments. It is the better choice when software will process the result.
