# Transcripts

![The export panel on a single recording with its format list open. The choices read Original File, Thumbnail as PNG, Word, PDF, Text which is ticked, SubRip and WebVTT, with a search box above them and an Export button in the footer.](/help/media/exports/exports-transcripts.jpg)

Export a single recording or a whole folder of them, and choose the file type and what travels
with it: speaker names, timestamps, insight visualizations, and redacted personal information.

## Export a single file

Open the file and select **Export**, in the tab to the right of **Sentiment**. A modal opens where
you set the format and the options.

Every account can export these:

- TXT
- SRT
- Original file

The Premium Export Add-On unlocks the rest:

- Word
- PDF
- TXT
- SRT
- VTT
- CSV
- JSON

Before you download, choose what to include:

- Speaker names
- Timestamps
- Insight visualizations
- Redacted personally identifiable information (PII)

Select **Export** when the selection looks right. Rendering takes a moment, so wait for the spinner
to stop and the success notification to appear. The download then starts in your browser.

To get the audio or video itself rather than a transcript, choose **Source file** instead of a
document format.

## Export a folder of files at once

Bulk export comes with access to Bulk Edit. With it, you can download every file in a folder in
one pass.

1. Open the folder holding the files, from [your folder list](https://app.speakai.co/folder).
1. Select the files you want. Use the checkbox at the top of the left column to take every file on
   the page, and raise the items per page setting first if you want more of them on one page.
1. Select **Export** in the top right.
1. Pick a format: Word, PDF, TXT, SRT, VTT, CSV, or JSON.
1. Choose whether to include speaker names, timestamps, insight visualizations, and PII redaction.
1. Select **Export All**.

The more files you select, the longer the render takes. Wait for the spinner to stop and the
success notification to appear, and the files download through your browser.

If anything goes wrong along the way, send us a message.
