Open a VTT file
Drop the .vtt here — captions from a web video or a transcript from Teams or Zoom — and read it as a table, with the speaker of every line when the file names one.
What a .vtt file is
A .vtt (WebVTT) is the subtitle format of the web: the captions of an HTML5 video, YouTube, online courses, and the transcript Teams and Zoom save after a meeting. It is text, like SRT, with a WEBVTT header and room for speaker names, positions and styling.
The file is usually wanted for its text, and it does not give it up easily: a meeting transcript is hundreds of half-sentences between timestamps, and YouTube’s automatic captions repeat every phrase as they roll. Here the repeats are dropped, speakers are shown in their own column, and the whole thing can leave as paragraphs in Word, plain text, or SRT for a player.

Questions
- It is a Teams meeting transcript.
- Save it as “Word — transcript in paragraphs”: the fragments are joined into paragraphs with each speaker’s name in bold.
- Can I search for what someone said?
- Yes — the search box matches the text and the speaker’s name.
- Is the file uploaded?
- No. It is read by this page on your own device; there is no server for it to go to.
