DACAST VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION
Transcribe Dacast recordings to text
THE FINISHED RESULT
A transcript you can actually work with
Search the text, jump back to the exact moment in the video, fix a name, then export the format your workflow needs.
Long recordings keep processing in the background.
Search the finished transcript using clickable timestamps.
Export the result as text, subtitles, Word or JSON.
SOURCE & ACCESS CHECK
Choose the right Dacast source
Use the recording's accessible video-on-demand or player URL, not a live channel or multi-video playlist.
Private, domain-locked, password-protected and tokenized players may not expose playable media to LongScribe.
What to do if the source is unavailable
Private, domain-locked, password-protected and tokenized players may not expose playable media to LongScribe. As the content owner, export the finished recording and upload the file when public playback is unavailable.
When LongScribe helps with Dacast
Make searchable post-event notes and subtitle sidecars, not real-time captions for a live broadcast.
Dacast VOD to transcript
Paste a compatible public Dacast VOD URL and LongScribe resolves the recording and transcribes the spoken audio.
Webinars, events and hosted recordings
Use transcripts to search webinar recordings, event replays and other hosted Dacast content.
One recording, not a whole playlist
Paste the individual public VOD URL you want transcribed; LongScribe treats a Dacast playlist as a set of separate recordings, not a single transcript.
Source restrictions still apply
Password protection, private access or other Dacast restrictions can still make an individual recording unavailable.
Example prompts after transcription
Ask LongScribe: "Create a webinar summary and list the questions answered during the recording." Answers can be grounded in the completed transcript instead of relying on the source title alone.
Frequently asked questions
Which Dacast link should I use?
Use the recording's accessible video-on-demand or player URL, not a live channel or multi-video playlist.
What if the Dacast recording is not accessible?
Private, domain-locked, password-protected and tokenized players may not expose playable media to LongScribe. As the content owner, export the finished recording and upload the file when public playback is unavailable.
Can LongScribe transcribe Dacast recordings?
Yes for supported public Dacast VOD (video-on-demand) URLs that expose reachable media.
Does LongScribe transcribe a whole Dacast playlist?
LongScribe transcribes individual public VOD recordings; a playlist page containing several recordings is not treated as one transcript.
What about password-protected or private Dacast recordings?
Password-protected, private or otherwise access-controlled Dacast recordings are not accessible through the public URL workflow.
Can I export a Dacast transcript as SRT?
Yes. Export TXT, timed SRT subtitles, DOCX and JSON from the finished transcript.
