StreamYard offers the ability to download a transcript of your recordings/live streams after they are finished! This feature is available for customers on the Professional Plan and up.
How to download your transcripts
Open your recording's download menu by clicking the three dots and then clicking Download.
Here, you will see an option to download your transcript! Transcripts can be downloaded in a .txt (text file) or .vtt(captioning) format.
The transcripts will take a little while to be prepared once you click Download. While this is in progress, you can leave the page and then go back later to download them.
