Transcription

HotMic includes a built-in transcription service that captures a full, timestamped transcript of every live stream. The transcript is generated in real time as the broadcast runs and is automatically saved alongside the stream's VOD and recording assets.

What You Get

• Full transcript — Every spoken word from every host and guest, captured in text.
• Timestamps — Each line of text is timestamped to its exact moment in the stream, making it easy to jump to a specific point in the video.
• Per-stream files — Every broadcast generates its own transcript file, stored with the rest of the stream's content.

Use Cases

• Closed Captioning — Use the transcript to generate closed captions for live or on-demand viewing, making your content more accessible.
• Faster Editing — Editors can scan the transcript instead of scrubbing the video, jumping straight to the moments worth keeping for clips and post-production.
• Search & Indexing — Make stream content searchable, so teams and viewers can find specific topics or quotes across your library.
• Compliance & Records — Maintain a written record of what was said on each broadcast for legal, brand-safety, or editorial review.

Where Transcripts Live

Transcripts are available through the Creator Studio alongside the recording or VOD they're attached to, and through the API for programmatic access — useful for piping transcripts into your CMS, captioning tools, or internal editorial systems.
