How to export a transcript as SRT or VTT
Open a saved TanLens transcript, correct the text, choose bilingual or single language, and download SRT, VTT, ASS or TXT.
To export subtitles, open the saved transcript in TanLens, correct the lines that matter, and choose Export. Pick SRT, VTT, ASS or TXT, then decide whether the file should carry both languages or the translation alone. The download uses the cue times currently in the transcript.
01Open the right transcript first
Exports come from saved transcripts, not from a live caption stream. If the session is still running, finish and save it first. In the transcript list, open the item whose title matches the meeting or file, and check that its status is ready rather than processing or failed. A failed run has no captions to export and does not consume credits for work it never produced. Once the editor is open, fix names, numbers and any sentence that would confuse a viewer before you download anything.
02Pick the format and language
SRT is accepted almost everywhere and is the safe choice for a video editor. VTT is the web standard and suits an HTML5 player. ASS is for playback tools that support styled subtitles, and TXT gives you plain text for notes. Bilingual output keeps the original and the translation in one cue, while single-language output removes the line your audience does not need. After you download, open the file once to check the first few cues and the ending; if you edit further, export again because the file is a snapshot.
