Live captions remain useful after the event. Export a session for meeting minutes, a talk summary, or video subtitles instead of recreating the content.

Export workflow

  1. Stop the session and confirm it is saved.
  2. Name it with date, event, and language.
  3. Choose TXT, Markdown, or SRT for the destination.
  4. Keep the original and edit a separate review copy.
  5. Correct names, numbers, and specialist terms before publishing.

What is inside an SRT?

Each plain-text block contains a sequence number, start and end timecodes, and caption text. YouTube supports basic UTF-8 SubRip .srt files. The format is simple to read, edit, and exchange.

Review before publishing

  • Names, companies, numbers, URLs, and terminology.
  • Lines that are too long for their screen time.
  • Breaks that split words or unnatural phrases.
  • Speaker labels in conversations.
  • Useful descriptions of music, applause, or important sounds.

Is a transcript the same as meeting minutes?

Usually not. A transcript keeps repetitions and incomplete speech. Formal minutes should extract decisions, owners, deadlines, and action items while retaining the original for reference.

Frequently asked questions

Can I upload SRT directly to YouTube?

Yes. Review UTF-8 encoding, timing, names, and line breaks first.

Markdown or TXT for meeting notes?

Markdown retains useful structure; TXT is best for simple transfer.

Do automatic transcripts need review?

Yes when published, quoted, or used as an official record.
