Export Button Greyed Out (FREE Plan)

ℹ️

FREE Plan Limitation

FREE plan can only export the preview (first 5 minutes). Full export requires PRO or BUSINESS.

▶️

Upgrade to PRO

PRO plan unlocks full export in all formats (TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, JSON).

Downloaded File Won't Open

ℹ️

Check File Format

Ensure you have the right software: DOCX → Microsoft Word/Google Docs | SRT/VTT → Video editors | JSON → Text editor

▶️

Re-download File

Download may have been interrupted. Delete the file and export again.

▶️

Try Different Format

If DOCX fails, try TXT or JSON instead to access your transcription.

SRT/VTT Timing Out of Sync

⚠️

Cause: Video Editing

If you edited the video after transcribing, timing will be off.

▶️

Solution: Re-transcribe Edited Video

Upload the final edited version to get accurate timing.

💡

Manual Adjustment

Use subtitle editing tools like Subtitle Edit or Aegisub to manually adjust timing offsets.

Missing Speaker Labels in Export

ℹ️

Check Diarization Was Enabled

Speaker labels only appear if you enabled "Speaker Diarization" during upload (PRO+ feature).

▶️

Re-upload with Diarization

Upload the file again with Speaker Diarization enabled to get speaker labels.

Export Button Not Responding

▶️

Check Browser Popup Blocker

Some exports trigger downloads that may be blocked. Allow popups for this site.

▶️

Try Different Browser

Switch to Chrome, Firefox, or Safari if issue persists.

▶️

Refresh and Retry

Refresh the page (Cmd/Ctrl + R) and try exporting again.
