Loom Transcript

Get the transcript of any public Loom video. Paste Loom share links, embed links or video IDs and get the full transcript with timestamps, ready-made SRT and VTT subtitles, and the video's title, owner, recording date and length. When Loom has its own transcript for a video you get that one; when it does not, the video is transcribed from its spoken audio, so older recordings and videos Loom could not process still get a transcript.

You pay only for transcripts you get. Private videos, deleted links, videos without sound and anything over your limits are never charged.

What can Loom Transcript do?

• 📝 Loom's own transcript for every video that has one (most Loom videos do), word for word as Loom shows it under the video.
• 🎧 Transcripts for videos without one: older recordings and videos whose transcript failed are transcribed from their audio (you can turn this off).
• ⏱️ Timestamps and subtitles: timed segments plus SRT and VTT subtitle files with every transcript.
• 🗣️ Speakers: when Loom marks more than one speaker, each segment says which (Speaker 1, Speaker 2...).
• 🏷️ Video details: title, description, owner name, recording date, length and thumbnail.
• 🔗 Any Loom link: share links, embed links, embed codes copied from a website, or bare video IDs. The same video pasted twice is transcribed and charged once.
• 💸 Fair billing: one charge per transcript, plus a per-minute charge after the first minute only for videos transcribed from audio.

How to get a Loom transcript

1. Paste your Loom links into Loom video links, one per line. Hover over a Loom video and copy its share link, or paste the embed code from a web page.
2. Optional: leave Transcribe videos without a Loom transcript from their audio on (the default) so every video gets a transcript, and set the Spoken language if you know it.
3. Click Start. Each video appears as a row as soon as its transcript is ready.
4. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or copy the srt / vtt field into a subtitle file.

How much does it cost?

You pay per video transcript. The transcript price includes the first minute of a video; a video that has no Loom transcript and is transcribed from its audio also pays an extra minute for every started minute past the first. Videos that have a Loom transcript pay the transcript price only, whatever their length. Higher Apify plans pay less:

Apify plan	Per 1,000 transcripts	Per 1,000 extra minutes
Free	$3.00	$5.00
Starter (Bronze)	$2.80	$4.50
Scale (Silver)	$2.60	$4.00
Business (Gold) and higher	$2.40	$3.50

So a 5-minute video transcribed from its audio is 1 transcript and 4 extra minutes. Platform usage is included in these prices, so you pay nothing else for the run. There is no start fee.

Example: 1,000 Loom videos with a Loom transcript cost $2.80 on Starter, $2.60 on Scale and $2.40 on Business and higher, whatever their length.

Never charged:

• private, password-protected and deleted videos, and links that are not Loom videos,
• videos whose owner turned the transcript off for viewers,
• videos with no sound or no speech,
• videos over your Max minutes per video (for audio transcripts),
• anything the run did not reach before its maximum cost or time limit.

A video transcribed from audio is only started when your run's maximum cost still covers it. Every Apify account gets $5 of free usage each month.

On the Apify Free plan, transcripts made from the audio use a lighter, slower method, so expect lower accuracy (more wrong words, most of all in songs and noisy videos), and a run transcribes up to 1 minute of audio: a longer video gets its first minute, and videos past that minute are saved as not transcribed and are not charged. Keep the default 1 GB memory: with less, a Free plan run transcribes no audio. Transcripts from Loom's own captions are the same on every plan. Paid Apify plans get full-accuracy transcripts with no such limit. On the Free plan a video cut to its first minute pays the transcript price only, with no extra minutes.
