Create Subtitles

Download an SRT file and add it back to the Drive video as a caption track.

Google Drive Transcript — Questions

How do I get a transcript from a Google Drive video?

If the video already has captions, open it in Drive, click the gear icon in the player and open the transcript. If it has none, set sharing to "Anyone with the link", paste the link here and a transcript is generated from the audio.

Can Google Drive transcribe audio or video?

Drive itself only displays a transcript for videos that have captions; it does not transcribe audio files. Paste a shared link here to transcribe either.

How do I download a Google Drive video transcript?

Once the transcript is generated, download it as TXT for plain text or SRT for timed subtitles, or copy it to the clipboard.

How do I add subtitles to a Google Drive video?

Generate the transcript, download the SRT file, then in Drive open the video's menu, choose Manage caption tracks and upload the SRT.

Is the Google Drive transcript generator free?

Yes, free to start. A free account comes with 5 credits and needs no credit card; one credit covers one minute of video, and packs start at $1.99 if you need more.

Why does my Google Drive link not work?

The file has to be shared as "Anyone with the link". Private files, folders, and files that hit Drive's download quota cannot be read — change the sharing setting, or download the file and upload it instead.
