Frequently asked questions
How do I transcribe a Vimeo video?
Download the Vimeo video as MP4 (available from Vimeo's download button if the creator enables it, or on your own Vimeo account). Upload the MP4 here and get a full transcript.
Does Vimeo have built-in transcription?
Vimeo offers auto-generated captions on paid plans (Vimeo Pro and above). If you are on the free tier or want a more accurate transcript to export and repurpose, VideoText provides a higher-accuracy alternative powered by Whisper.
Can I get SRT captions from a Vimeo video?
Yes. Upload your Vimeo video, use the Video to Subtitles tool, and download an SRT file. You can then upload the SRT back to Vimeo in Video Manager → Advanced → Captions & Subtitles.
Is Vimeo transcription free?
Yes. Free tier includes 3 uploads per day. Sign up for free to try.
What video format should I download from Vimeo?
Download as MP4 (1080p or 720p). All standard Vimeo MP4 downloads work directly with VideoText — no conversion needed.
