Export Formats
Any transcription in Murmur's History can be exported to a file. Export options appear when you open a transcription and tap the share or export button.
Plain text
Exports the transcription as a .txt file — just the spoken words with no formatting or metadata. Clean and compatible with any application.
An optional Include timestamps toggle adds a timestamp at the start of each paragraph, formatted as [HH:MM:SS]. This is useful for longer recordings where you want to be able to jump to a specific point.
Timestamped text
A dedicated timestamped format that pairs each sentence or segment with its start time. More granular than the plain text timestamp option, with one timestamp per spoken segment rather than per paragraph.
This format is easy to read and useful for reference documents or meeting notes that need time markers.
SRT (SubRip)
Exports a .srt subtitle file, the most widely supported subtitle format. Each subtitle block includes a sequence number, start and end timestamp, and the spoken text.
For meeting recordings with speaker diarization, each subtitle block is prefixed with the speaker label (e.g., Speaker 1:). This makes it easy to follow who said what when importing into video editors or review tools.
SRT files work in Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, VLC, YouTube, and most other video and media tools.
WebVTT
Exports a .vtt file in the WebVTT (Web Video Text Tracks) format. Similar to SRT but designed for web use and supported natively by HTML5 video players.
Meeting exports include speaker voice tags using the WebVTT <v> tag format, which some players render as speaker attribution.
WebVTT is the right choice when you are publishing to the web or working with tools that prefer it over SRT.
Exporting a transcription
- Open the History section.
- Tap the transcription you want to export.
- Tap the export button (share icon).
- Choose a format from the list.
- Select a save location or share destination in the standard macOS save dialog.
Meeting exports
Meeting transcriptions support all four export formats. When speaker diarization was run, speaker labels are included in every format that supports them (SRT and WebVTT use labels inline; timestamped text prefixes each segment).
