Turn any Vimeo video into text
Paste the link and pull a transcript in seconds — paragraphs for a write-up, timestamps for review notes, or a subtitle file for your next export. Free, no sign-up.

Built for learning on your own. UpSolo makes tools around video transcripts so anyone can study, review and understand what they watch. The words belong to the video's creator. How you use a transcript, or anything made from it, is up to you: please respect the creator's rights and the platform's terms. UpSolo isn't responsible for how the output is used.
Three steps, no setup
Paste any Vimeo, channel, or group link
Choose a format — paragraphs, timestamps, or SRT/VTT
Copy the result or download the subtitle file
Built for pulling text out of video
A client review reel, a portfolio piece, a recorded talk — if there's a caption track on it, this gets the words out. Whatever the deliverable is, this covers the format it needs.
| Six output formats | Paragraphs for a write-up, timestamps for review notes, SRT/VTT for delivery, or raw JSON if you're piping it into something else. | |
| Works on any caption track | Pulls whatever caption track is already attached to the video, in its original language — no re-typing a client's dialogue. | |
| Caption language field | Know the deliverable needs captions in a specific language? Set the code directly instead of leaving it to auto-detect. | |
| Seconds, not minutes | Skip the scrubbing. The full transcript lands in one request instead of you hunting through a two-hour cut for a quote. | |
| Download subtitles | Export straight to .srt or .vtt so it drops into your editor or any web player without reformatting. | |
| Free, no account | No account, no watermark on the output — rate-limited rather than paywalled. | |
| Channels and groups too | A bare vimeo.com/ID link, a channel URL, or a group's /videos/ID link — all resolve to the same video. | |
| One honest limit | No caption track on the source video means no tool, this one included, can recover the dialogue. Everything else is fair game. |
Why you'd want a transcript
Reviewers and editors
Skip re-watching a two-hour cut to find one line. Pull the transcript, search it, and jump straight to the timestamp you need before you touch the timeline again.
Studios and agencies
One client video, several deliverables — a recap doc, a highlights script, or captions for a cut-down. Working from text beats re-scrubbing footage every time a stakeholder asks for a quote.
Pairing with AI tools
Drop the transcript into Claude, ChatGPT, or whatever you use for a first-draft summary, chapter markers, or talking points for the next review call. Clean text in, no caption artifacts to strip out first.
