Convert a Zoom or Teams transcript to Word

Drop in the .vtt, .srt or .txt file your meeting app gave you and get a clean document back: timestamps gone, each speaker's lines joined into paragraphs, names in bold. It runs entirely in your browser, so the transcript never leaves your computer.

Nothing is uploaded. The conversion happens on this page, in your browser.

What the converter does

Meeting apps export transcripts as caption files. A caption file is built for a video player: a numbered cue every few seconds, a start and end time on each, and a sentence chopped wherever the player needed a line break. Open one in Word and you get hundreds of fragments.

  • Removes cue numbers and timestamps, or keeps a single timestamp at the start of each speaker's turn if you need to find the moment again.
  • Joins each speaker's consecutive lines into one paragraph, so a two-minute answer reads as a paragraph instead of forty captions.
  • Keeps speaker names from Zoom's Name: text lines, Teams' voice tags and Teams' Word export, and lets you rename or anonymise them before you share the document.
  • Exports a real .docx with names in bold, plus plain text and Markdown.

Which files it reads

  • Zoom — the Audio Transcript .vtt from a cloud recording, and the .txt you get from saving live captions. See how to get a Zoom transcript if you don't have the file yet, or how to download a Zoom recording.
  • Microsoft Teams — the .vtt download from the meeting recap (by default only organisers and co-organisers can download it). If you downloaded the .docx instead, open it, select all, and paste the text here.
  • Google Meet — Meet saves its transcript as a Google Doc; copy the conversation and paste it in, leaving out the title and attendee list at the top.
  • Anything else in WebVTT or SubRip format.vtt and .srt files from other recorders and captioning tools.

Why it runs in your browser

A meeting transcript is a record of what people said, often about customers, candidates or colleagues. Most online converters upload the file to a server to process it. This one doesn't: the page parses the text with JavaScript on your own machine, and there is no request that carries your transcript anywhere. You can load the page, disconnect from the internet, and it still works.

Skip the file altogether

If you clean up transcripts every week, the file is the problem. Nod is a Mac app that listens to the call through your computer's own audio, so nothing joins the meeting, and gives you the transcript already split by speaker, with a summary, decisions and action items on top. There is no .vtt to convert and no audio kept afterwards. See meeting transcription or the AI note taker for Mac.

Frequently asked questions

  • How do I convert a Zoom transcript to Word?

    Download the Audio Transcript (.vtt) from your Zoom cloud recording, drop it into the box at the top of this page, and choose Download .docx. The converter removes the cue numbers and timestamps and joins each speaker's lines into paragraphs, so the Word file reads like a document instead of a caption track.

  • Is my transcript uploaded anywhere?

    No. The conversion runs in your browser with JavaScript, and the page makes no request that contains your transcript. Nothing is stored after you close the tab.

  • Can I remove the timestamps from a Teams transcript?

    Yes. Drop in the .vtt you downloaded from the Teams meeting recap, or paste the text of the .docx version. Timestamps are removed by default; tick the option if you want one kept at the start of each speaker's turn.

  • Can I anonymise the speakers?

    Yes. Once the transcript is loaded, every speaker appears in the rename list. Type a replacement such as Interviewer or Participant 1 and it is applied throughout the document and every export.

  • Does it work with .srt subtitle files?

    Yes. SubRip (.srt) and WebVTT (.vtt) files are both read. Subtitle files usually carry no speaker names, so the result is clean paragraphs of text without labels.

  • Is there a file size limit or a daily limit?

    No. There is no account, no daily cap and no ads. Very long transcripts are limited only by your browser's memory, and a multi-hour meeting is well within it.
