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.
