# Transcript

> The full written text of a video's spoken audio — the raw material for clips, captions, and repurposing.

*Workflow*

Canonical: https://novaclipper.com/glossary/transcript

A transcript is the complete text of everything said in a video, ideally timestamped. It is the foundation of an AI clipping workflow: moment detection reads the transcript to find self-contained, high-interest segments, and the same text powers captions, titles, descriptions, and written repurposing.

Timestamped transcripts also make long video searchable — you can jump straight to where a topic is discussed instead of scrubbing.
