It accepts VTT and SRT files and plain pasted text. Everything runs in the browser. ## Example input ``` WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:06.000 Thanks for making the time, Sam. How does your team 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.000 handle follow-ups after calls today? 3 00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:15.000 Mostly by hand, and honestly it slips in busy weeks. 4 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.500 What does it cost you when it slips? 5 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:26.000 We lost a deal last month because nobody replied for nine days. ``` ## Example output Alex Smith: Thanks for making the time, Sam. How does your team handle follow-ups after calls today? Sam Lee: Mostly by hand, and honestly it slips in busy weeks. Alex Smith: What does it cost you when it slips? Sam Lee: We lost a deal last month because nobody replied for nine days. ## How it works ### Paste or open the file Open a .vtt, .srt or .txt file, or paste its contents. Formats from Zoom, Teams and Meet are recognised. ### Choose what to keep Merge a speaker's consecutive lines into one turn, and keep timestamps if you want them for reference. ### Copy, download or analyze Copy the text, save it as a .txt file, or send it straight to the call analyzer. ## Who it is for Sellers and managers who have a transcript file from a recorded call and need readable text to review, share or run through the call analyzer. ## Skip the file altogether This tool cleans a transcript after the fact. Axelize reads the live captions on the call, saves the transcript to the account and writes your next line while the buyer is still talking.

It lists short pieces of speech with a start and end time. Zoom, Microsoft Teams and many video tools produce one when they transcribe a call. ### How do I convert a VTT file to a TXT file? Open the file here or paste its contents, and the tool removes the header, the cue numbers and the timestamps. Copy the result or download it as a .txt file. ### How do I get a transcript file from Zoom, Teams or Google Meet? Zoom saves a .vtt transcript with a cloud recording when audio transcription is on. Teams lets you download the transcript from the meeting recap. Google Meet saves its transcript as a Google Doc, so copy the text from that document and paste it here. ### Is my transcript uploaded to a server? No. The file is read and converted in your browser. Close the tab and it is gone. ### Why are some lines missing a speaker name? Some tools write captions without naming who spoke. The tool then returns the spoken text on its own, in order, and the call analyzer needs speaker names to work. ## Related - [Sales call analyzer](https://axelize.com/tools/sales-call-analyzer) - [Call recording consent checker](https://axelize.com/tools/call-recording-consent-checker) - [Follow-up email generator](https://axelize.com/tools/sales-follow-up-email-generator) - [Conversation intelligence, defined](https://axelize.com/glossary/conversation-intelligence)
