Automatic transcripts for Clips

Last updated: April 19, 2026

Transcripts are automatically generated provided that a Clip has audio. This streamlines the research process by providing native transcript support for unmoderated studies, helping you extract insights more efficiently from participant video and audio content.

Clips are available for users on Business and Enterprise plans.

Accessing your Clips transcripts

Transcription converts the spoken audio in your Clips into scannable text, making it easier to analyze participant feedback, identify key insights, and share findings with your team.

With automatic transcripts, you can quickly scan through participant responses for specific topics or keywords, and extract quotes without having to listen through entire recordings.

Transcripts for your unmoderated study clips are available in the following locations where Clips are found:

Individual participant sessions

Troubleshooting Clip transcripts

While our transcription technology is robust, there are certain situations where transcript generation may not be possible.

Clip Duration Too Short

Issue: Clips under 2 seconds in length cannot be transcribed

Reason: This is a technical limitation of our transcription provider, which requires a minimum audio duration to process speech accurately

No Audio Detected

Issue: No transcript generated when audio is absent

Reason: The clip may contain only visual content, or audio recording may have failed during the session

Poor Audio Quality

Issue: Transcription fails due to audio clarity issues

Reason: Background noise, low volume, unclear speech, or technical audio problems prevent accurate transcription processing

Disable automatically generated transcripts

If you are the Owner or Admin of a Business or Enterprise plan, you can control transcript functionality through the Control Panel within your Team Settings.

  1. Navigate to Admin Control Panel
  2. Locate the AI Transcripts setting
  3. Toggle the setting to enable or disable transcripts for both:
    • Unmoderated study clips
    • Moderated study sessions
Note: The AI Transcripts toggle manages transcription features across both moderated and unmoderated studies from a single setting, providing unified transcript management.
