Professional video deserves professional transcription
Vimeo is where professionals host client work, corporate training, and public-facing video. All of it needs captions and transcripts — for accessibility compliance (ADA, Section 508, WCAG 2.1), client review workflows, and audience reach. Vocova transcribes any public Vimeo video and exports SRT files ready to upload back to Vimeo's subtitle system. Note: password-protected Vimeo videos require downloading the file and uploading it directly.

Features
SRT export for Vimeo subtitle upload
Export your transcript as an SRT file and upload it directly to Vimeo's built-in subtitle system. Your captions will be synced to the video timeline automatically.
Accessibility compliance ready
ADA, Section 508, and WCAG 2.1 AA require captions and transcripts for video content. Vocova generates both, giving you the documentation needed to meet legal requirements.
Client review workflow
Production teams sharing work-in-progress videos on Vimeo can generate transcripts for client review — making it easy for stakeholders to reference specific dialogue and provide timestamped feedback.
Showcase and OTT support
Enterprise teams using Vimeo Showcase or OTT can transcribe entire video libraries for subtitle generation and searchable content catalogs.

Frequently asked questions
Can I upload the SRT file back to Vimeo?
Yes. Export the transcript as an SRT file from Vocova, then go to your Vimeo video settings, navigate to Distribution > Subtitles, and upload the SRT file. Vimeo will sync the captions to your video timeline.
Does this help with ADA and WCAG compliance?
Yes. ADA, Section 508, and WCAG 2.1 AA require synchronized captions and text transcripts for video content. Vocova generates both SRT subtitle files and full-text transcripts, which together satisfy the captioning requirements of these standards.
What about password-protected Vimeo videos?
Vocova cannot access password-protected or private Vimeo videos through the URL. For these videos, download the file from your Vimeo account and upload it directly to Vocova.
How accurate are the timestamps for subtitles?
Timestamps are precise to the second and aligned to natural speech boundaries. The resulting SRT files produce well-timed captions when uploaded to Vimeo without manual adjustment.
Can I transcribe an entire Vimeo Showcase?
Each video in a Showcase needs to be transcribed individually. For enterprise teams with large libraries, process videos one at a time and upload the SRT files back to each video.
Does it work with Vimeo OTT channels?
Yes. If the video is accessible via a standard Vimeo URL or downloadable from your account, it can be transcribed. The resulting SRT files work with Vimeo's subtitle system across all tiers including OTT.
