Vimeo is the world’s leading platform when it comes to hosting professional and high quality videos. It has over 90 million active users and receives 715 million views every month. If you want to add a professional touch to your videos, it is a good idea to convert them into transcripts. A transcript’s textual nature improves your video’s discoverability and it makes your content more accessible.
Transcribing videos by yourself is difficult work. Fortunately, getting a quick and accurate transcript can be as easy as pasting a link into our transcription service.

4. Edit Transcript
Rev’s transcripts are 99% accurate but our interactive transcript editor makes it effortless for you to make the transcript 100% accurate. To enter the interactive editor, go to your ‘My Files’ page and click on the name of the file you want to edit. Note you must be a subscriber to use the editor.
The editor’s embedded media player syncs your video with the transcript. This makes it easy for you to compare the actual audio with the transcript’s text. Press Tab and then follow the blue highlight as the video plays. When you click on a word, you will be able to change it. You can also record your thoughts and ideas in the editor’s ‘Notes’ section. If you click on the three dots in the editor’s menu bar, an option menu is produced. Select Find and Replace to search for and replace certain words in your transcript.

Why Choose Human Transcription?
Human transcription, as the name suggests, is done by actual people who watch a video and then convert the audio into text. This is in contrast to automated transcription which uses artificial intelligence.
Automated transcriptions have a high turn around rate. An automated service can finish generating transcripts in mere minutes which allows huge volumes of content to be produced. Additionally, as automated transcriptions don’t rely on humans, they are much cheaper.
However, automated transcriptions are much less accurate and need to be edited before they are published. Choosing human transcription will save you valuable time that you would have otherwise spent cleaning up the transcript. This is because humans are much better at decoding the technical jargon, overtalk and accents that are commonly present in videos. Videos with unclear audio and heavy background noise also are more accurately interpreted by humans.
Human transcription is superior to automated transcription in nearly every field except cost. Therefore, if you want a transcript that matches your video’s high quality, we recommend human transcription.
At Rev, our transcribers are highly proficient and can quickly produce an accurate transcript that is well-formatted, punctuated and error free. Furthermore, we take security and confidentiality very seriously.

Using Your Transcript
Once you have downloaded your Vimeo transcript, you can use it in many different ways.
It is a great idea to copy your transcript into the video description box of its Vimeo page. This will improve the viewing experience for visitors in multiple ways. People whose first language is not English can find it difficult to understand what is being said. The transcript in the video description will make it much easier for them to follow along with the video. In addition to that, users can quickly scan through the video’s transcript to find certain sections of the video or to gauge what the video will entail.
As well as that, you can also include the transcript in any promotional blogs or posts that you produce. When it comes to content creation, shareability is important. Having sections of the transcript on a blog, makes it easier for others to quote and share it. Moreover, search engines can pick up the transcript more easily than the video.
Final Words
Congratulations on making it to the end of this guide! Now, you should be able to get a Vimeo video transcript.
