Transcripts
Turn any recording, podcast, or video link into searchable text — with speakers, timestamps, and clip-ready exports — and repurpose it into clips, posts, and subtitles.
A transcript is the searchable, editable text version of an audio or video file. Drop a recording or paste a link, and Endless returns the full text — broken into speakers and timestamped down to the word — so you can read it, search it, and turn it into something else.
Most people don't want the text for its own sake. They want what comes next: the clip, the thread, the subtitle file, the quote they can't find by scrubbing a two-hour stream. A transcript is the fastest path from "we recorded it" to "we published it."
What you get
Searchable text
The full recording as clean, readable text. Find any phrase in seconds instead of scrubbing the timeline.
Speakers
Each turn is attributed to a speaker. Rename them once and it updates everywhere.
Word-level timestamps
Every word is anchored to its moment in the audio. Click a line to jump the player straight to it.
Clip-ready exports
Plain text, speaker text, JSON, and subtitle files (SRT / VTT) — ready for your editor, player, or workflow.
What you can do with it
Transcripts are the raw material for almost any content workflow. A few of the most common:
Media & broadcast
Transcribe a full radio show, TV segment, or live stream, then pull timestamped moments into short clips for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
Podcasts
Turn a long episode into vertical clips and quote threads — and ship show notes without re-listening.
Clipping & editing
Hand the transcript to an editor with suggested timestamps, then export SRT for Premiere or any subtitle-aware tool.
Agencies & social
Repurpose one interview or webinar into posts, carousels, and threads across multiple client accounts.
Education
Convert recorded classes and lectures into summaries, carousels, and study notes.
Newsrooms
Search long interviews for the exact quote, attribute it to the right speaker, and clip it fast.
Pair transcripts with Chat to go from text to output in one move — ask for a thread, a set of clip ideas with timestamps, or a script in your brand's tone, all grounded in the transcript you just made.
Add a recording
Drop a file or paste a link
Drag an audio or video file onto the uploader, click browse to pick one, or paste a YouTube, TikTok, or direct media link. If you copy a link and paste it anywhere on the page, we route it into the link box for you.
We transcribe it
The file is queued, compressed if needed, uploaded, and transcribed. You can keep adding more while the queue runs — each one opens as soon as it's ready.
Read, search, and export
Open the transcript to read it by speaker or as plain text, jump around by clicking any line, search across the whole thing, and export in the format you need.

Files can be up to 2 GB each. For something longer, split it into segments or compress it before uploading.
Export formats
Every transcript exports in five formats from the Export menu:

| Speaker text | .txt | Interviews and meetings — keeps who said what |
| JSON | .json | Words plus timing, for custom tooling |
| SubRip | .srt | Subtitles for most editors and players |
| WebVTT | .vtt | Captions for web video |
