Feature

Every event, searchable to the second

Captions don't disappear when the broadcast ends. They become a timestamped, speaker-labeled, full-text-searchable transcript that lives at the same URL — for attendees, for your team, and for search engines.

A transcript is only as useful as it is findable. EventRecast preserves every captioned event as a structured transcript: each line stamped with a time offset, attributed to the speaker when audio supports it, and indexed for full-text search. Attendees, internal teams, and (when you choose to publish them) Google all benefit from the same archive.

For high-frequency event programs — weekly webinars, semester-long lecture series, multi-track conferences — the searchable archive becomes the most-trafficked artifact of the program. Specific moments outlive the live event by months.

What a transcript becomes after the event

Full-text search

Type a word or phrase and jump to the moment in the event where it was said. Works across single events or your entire library.

Timestamped per line

Every caption line stores its time offset so a search result is also a play-position. Click and you're at that moment in the playback.

Speaker labels

When audio supports it, lines are attributed to the speaker. Panels, interviews, and Q&A sessions stay readable.

Shareable timestamps

Send a colleague a link to the exact 30 seconds of the event that matters. The URL deep-links to that moment.

Export to SRT, VTT, TXT, JSON

The transcript is portable. Drop it into a video editor, a CMS, a CRM, or your own search index.

Public or private, your choice

Keep transcripts private to your account, share with attendees only, or publish them as public pages that Google can index.

How searchable transcripts work

  1. Captions become transcript automatically

    Every captioned line is added to the event's transcript with a timestamp. No separate processing step.

  2. Search the dashboard

    Type a query in the dashboard search bar to find every event where that phrase was spoken — across your entire library.

  3. Jump to the moment

    Click any result to open the transcript at that timestamp. Share the link or copy the quote.

The transcript is the long tail of every live event

The live audience for an event is bounded — the people who showed up. The transcript audience is unbounded. Every search query that matches a phrase in the transcript adds a new viewer at no marginal cost. Over months, transcripts often deliver more attention than the live event did.

For events you publish publicly, that long tail compounds: every transcript becomes a search-engine-indexable page that ranks for the long-tail queries the talk covered. A 50-minute conference talk can rank for hundreds of queries that were never the talk's title.
