EchoVideo: Uploading a Transcript File for Editing

The look and feel of the Player is changing! Upcoming changes are identified in this article by providing screenshots labeled "Old UI" and "New UI".

There may be times when you have a transcription that you want to upload to the media through the Transcript Editor. It may be a file that was generated via manual transcription or otherwise done externally to EchoVideo and the ASR service. It may be a transcription you downloaded previously and edited offline.

In any case, you can upload a transcription file to the media in the editor, and then apply it to the media. This makes that file available through the editor for further revisions.

The uploaded file must be a webVTT file and meet the WebVTT specifications as defined by the W3C: https://www.w3.org/TR/webvtt1/. As long as your VTT file meets the specifications, EchoVideo will accept it.

To upload a transcript file

1. Open the transcript editor, and click Upload as shown above,
2. Use the Filepicker window to find and select the .vtt file to upload (either from your local machine or from a shared drive).

Once uploaded, the file is processed and the transcript text (if one was resident) changes to show the newly-applied transcript file.

The uploaded file is also given the next version number and is immediately applied to the media.
