Transcription Viewer

Every episode transcribed in EnaCast gets a full transcript that you can view, search, correct and download in several formats. The transcription viewer lets you work with the text of the audio comfortably from EnaCast Studio.

Opening the transcript

To view an episode’s transcript:

1. Open the management panel at studio.enacast.com
2. In the sidebar, under Content, open Episodes
3. Click the episode you want to open its page
4. In the right-hand column, click View transcript

Note

Only transcribed episodes have a transcript, and the View transcript button only appears on them. If an episode was not transcribed (because the daily budget ran out or the program does not have transcription enabled), it has no transcript.

The Transcript page shows the text split into segments, each with the timestamp where it starts. Below the text you will see the number of segments, words and characters.

Available formats

EnaCast stores the transcript in three formats, each meant for a different use:

Format	Extension	Description	Typical use
Plain text	.txt	Text only, no timestamps	Quick reading, copy and paste
SRT	.srt	Text with numbered timestamps	Video subtitles, subtitle editors
VTT	.vtt	Text with timestamps (web format)	Subtitles in web players, accessibility

SRT format

SRT (SubRip Text) is the most widely used subtitle format. Each block contains:

• A sequence number
• The start and end timestamps
• The text for that fragment

It works with most video editors and media players.

VTT format

VTT (Web Video Text Tracks) is similar to SRT but designed for the web. It is the standard format for subtitles in web players and is commonly used for accessibility and online media.

Searching within the transcript

Type in the Search in transcript… field to show only the segments that contain that text, highlighted, with the number of results next to it. This is useful to:

• Find a specific topic within a long episode
• Find an interviewee’s exact quote
• Check whether a specific name or fact was mentioned

Searching the episode archive

Besides searching within one episode, listeners can search every transcript of your station with the public website’s search. That way you can find which episode covered a given topic.

Correcting the transcript

Click Edit to correct the text: click on a segment’s text to edit it and, when you are done, click Save (or Cancel to discard your changes). Each segment keeps its timestamps.

Caution

The correction is saved to the plain text and the SRT. The WebVTT (.vtt) file keeps the text from before the correction.

Copying and exporting the transcript

Copy all copies the full text to the clipboard. With Download you can get the transcript in any of the three formats:

• Plain text (.txt): ideal for pasting the content into a document, press release or social media post
• Subtitles (.srt): useful if you want to add subtitles to a video of the episode
• WebVTT (.vtt): perfect for adding subtitles to a web player

Syncing with the audio

SRT and VTT transcripts include timestamps that mark the exact second each fragment is spoken. This lets you:

• Find the moment in the audio where a sentence is said
• Sync subtitles with video
• Create clips or excerpts of the episode with precise references

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit the transcript?

Yes. On the Transcript page, click Edit, correct the text of the segments you need and click Save.

What language is the transcript in?

The transcript is generated in the language spoken in the episode. The system detects the audio’s language automatically.

How long until the transcript is available?

The transcript is processed automatically after the episode is recorded. The time depends on the audio’s length and the system load, but it is usually available within a few minutes.

Can I download the transcripts of several episodes at once?

Not for now: downloads are one episode at a time.
