Paste a Vimeo link and get the video's captions as a timestamped transcript — copy it, download it, or summarize it with AI. Free, no account needed.
The SideZero Chrome sidebar grabs the transcript and summarizes right on the Vimeo page — one click, no pasting. YouTube and TikTok too.
Three steps, no app, no sign-up.
Any public Vimeo video works — the regular vimeo.com/123456789 link or a player.vimeo.com embed link.
Hit Get Transcript. We read the video's own caption track — the same captions you'd see with CC turned on.
Grab the transcript with or without timestamps, save it as a .txt file, or get an instant AI summary.
Built by SideZero with the same rules as everything we ship: honest, fast, private.
We fetch Vimeo's own caption track for the video with timestamps intact — not a re-recording or a guess. If the creator uploaded polished captions, that's exactly what you get.
Fetching a transcript is free and needs no account. The AI summary has a free daily allowance — when you reach it we say so openly and show when it resets.
The transcript streams from Vimeo to your browser. We keep no copy of the video, the captions, or your viewing history.
Straight answers — it's kind of our thing.
Paste the video's link into the box above, click Get Transcript, then use Download .txt to save the transcript with timestamps — or the copy buttons to grab the text with or without timestamps.
No — only public videos. Private and unlisted videos refuse access to anyone but their intended viewers, and we don't bypass that. You'll see a clear message instead of a broken transcript.
Not every Vimeo video has a caption track. If the creator didn't upload captions and Vimeo hasn't auto-generated them, there is no transcript to fetch — we tell you honestly rather than inventing one.
Yes — timestamps come straight from the caption track's cue timings, the same ones the Vimeo player uses to display captions in sync with the video.
Yes. We fetch whichever caption tracks the video has — if there are several languages we prefer English, and otherwise you get the video's own language, clearly labeled.
