Get a Transcript From a Loom Video
A Loom walkthrough is quick to record and slow to reuse — nobody can skim a ten-minute screen recording for the one step they need. Paste the share link and the narration comes back as timestamped text you can turn into a written SOP, paste into a doc, or search in seconds. The Loom has to be shareable with "anyone with the link"; workspace-only videos need a login we deliberately never ask for.

What you get: a real transcript
Unedited output from a 64-second interview with two speakers (synthetic voices), transcribed with speaker detection on. Only the first lines are shown.
SPEAKER_00 (0:00) Welcome back to Small Shop Stories. SPEAKER_00 (0:02) Today I'm talking to Maya, who runs a tiny bakery on the SPEAKER_00 (0:05) corner of Mill Street. SPEAKER_01 (0:07) Thanks for having me. SPEAKER_01 (0:08) It's really small, just two ovens and a counter. SPEAKER_00 (0:12) So how does a normal day start for you?
1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,680 [SPEAKER_00] Welcome back to Small Shop Stories. 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,320 [SPEAKER_00] Today I'm talking to Maya, who runs a tiny bakery on the 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,320 [SPEAKER_00] corner of Mill Street.
Checked against the script, 4 of 189 words differed — a 2.1% word error rate, counting "80" written for "eighty" as an error — and all 14 speaker turns were labelled correctly. This was clean speech; noisy recordings and people talking over each other score lower. See the full transcript and how it was scored

- Turns a spoken walkthrough into editable text you can shape into an SOP, help doc or release note — no rewatching the video.
Frequently asked questions
Which Loom links work?
Any loom.com/share link set to "Anyone with the link can view". If the video is restricted to your workspace or specific people, we hit the same login wall an anonymous visitor would and cannot fetch it — change the share setting, or download the file and upload it instead.
Why transcribe a Loom I recorded myself?
To turn a spoken walkthrough into something written and reusable — an SOP, a help doc, a release note — without retyping it, and to make the content searchable and quotable. The transcript is editable, so you cut the filler and keep the substance.
Can I get subtitles for the Loom?
Yes — export SRT or VTT and the cue timings come with it, so the file lines up with the recording as-is. Re-embed it anywhere that takes a subtitle track, or translate the transcript first (free on every plan, into 134+ languages) for a different audience. The translation keeps the original timings, so a translated SRT lines up with the recording too.
Does it capture what's shown on screen?
No — only the narration. Clicks, on-screen text and code aren't transcribed, so for a written SOP, add screenshots of the key steps next to the matching timestamps.
Can I share the transcript with my team?
Yes. Create a read-only share link — teammates can read and search it without an account, and you can revoke it anytime — or export DOCX or PDF for your wiki.
