How to transcribe online course
- 1
Upload your course video
Drag your lecture recording, screencast, or tutorial video directly into CentClip - no account and no format conversion required before you start. Your first 5 minutes are processed free, so you can test a clip or short module at no cost before committing to a full course. CentClip works with common recording formats from tools like Zoom, Loom, OBS, and Camtasia so you can upload straight from your existing workflow.

Choose your language and review the transcript
CentClip transcribes course audio across 50+ languages and displays the result in a simple inline editor so you can review and fix terminology, instructor names, or subject-specific jargon before exporting. Corrections take seconds - click any word to edit it without re-uploading or reprocessing the file. Most course videos finish transcribing in a fraction of real time, so a 45-minute lecture is typically ready to review in just a few minutes.

Export captions or transcript for your LMS
Download a burned-in MP4 with captions permanently embedded in the video - compatible with any LMS, social platform, or video host without needing a separate subtitle file. Or export an SRT or VTT file to upload alongside your video in Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, Moodle, Canvas, or any platform that supports external captions. A plain text transcript is included at no additional cost, giving you a written version of the lecture for course notes, accessibility docs, or search indexing.
Why choose CentClip?
Course recordings come in batches - pay only when you publish
Course creators typically produce content in focused sprints - recording a full module, finishing a series, or updating an annual certification - rather than uploading videos every week. A transcription subscription built for high-volume teams charges the same monthly fee whether you're transcribing 10 minutes or 10 hours. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with no subscription, so a 3-hour course costs $9.00 total and leaves no idle monthly fee when the recording session is done. Credits never expire, so any balance rolls forward to your next production sprint without losing anything.
Accessibility compliance for online courses is not optional
WCAG 2.1 guidelines and platform-level accessibility requirements mean that captioned video is increasingly expected - and in many cases legally required - for courses published to corporate training portals, higher education LMS platforms, and public-facing sites. Accurate SRT and VTT files from CentClip upload directly to Moodle, Canvas, Teachable, and most other LMS platforms in a few clicks. Burned-in captions provide a reliable fallback for learners on platforms or devices that don't support external subtitle files. CentClip's 50+ language support means international course editions can be captioned in the original spoken language without routing through a separate service.
Plain text transcripts extend the value of every lecture
A transcript is not just an accessibility asset - it's raw material for course notes, blog posts, searchable knowledge bases, and script updates for future re-recordings. CentClip generates a plain text transcript alongside every captioned export at no extra charge, so you get a clean written version of each lecture without a separate transcription pass. Course creators who need to update a module can use the transcript to locate the exact section that changed rather than scrubbing through the video timeline. The SRT file also makes it straightforward to copy-edit captions for accuracy after the fact, since each line is time-stamped to the millisecond.
