Tool
Transcribe Loom Videos to Text
Paste any shared Loom link and get an accurate transcript with AI summaries, action items, and more, in 30+ languages. Restricted recording? Upload the file instead.
How it works
Copy the Loom share link
Open the Loom recording and copy its loom.com share link. For restricted recordings, download the video from Loom instead — VidNotes takes file uploads too.
Paste in VidNotes
Open VidNotes on iOS, Android, the web app at app.vidnotes.app, or the Chrome extension and paste it in. VidNotes pulls the audio from the recording and gets to work.
Get transcript + AI features
You get the full transcript with timestamps plus an AI summary, extracted action items, flashcards, and a chat to ask questions about the recording.
Why transcribe Loom videos?
Action items without rewatching
A 12-minute Loom usually contains three decisions and five to-dos. VidNotes extracts them as a list, so nothing said in an async update dies in the video.
Searchable team knowledge
Looms pile up fast and nobody rewatches them. Transcripts turn walkthroughs, handoffs, and updates into a searchable archive your team can actually reference.
Turn walkthroughs into docs
Convert a recorded product demo or process walkthrough into written documentation, onboarding guides, or help-center articles. Export as Markdown and edit from there.
Skim instead of watch
Read a 10-minute update in 90 seconds. Transcripts and AI summaries let teammates in other time zones catch up without playing every video at 2x.

- AI-generated summary highlighting decisions and key points
- Action items extracted from updates and walkthroughs
- Auto-generated flashcards from training recordings

Works with every kind of Loom
Async updates and standups
Status updates, project recaps, and async standups. Turn them into text your team can skim, search, and act on.
Product demos and walkthroughs
Feature demos, sales walkthroughs, and client presentations. Capture the narration as text for docs, follow-ups, and proposals.
Training and onboarding
Screen-recorded tutorials and onboarding sessions. Convert them into written guides and flashcards new teammates can study.
Code reviews and design feedback
Recorded reviews and feedback sessions. Get every comment as searchable text tied to a timestamp instead of scrubbing for the one remark you need.
Who uses Loom transcription
Remote teams
Turn the daily stream of Looms into searchable notes, decisions, and action items. Teammates catch up by reading instead of watching, and nothing gets lost when the video scrolls out of Slack.
Freelancers & agencies
Transcribe client walkthroughs and feedback Looms so every request is captured in writing. Paste the transcript into your project tracker and never argue about what was asked.
Ops & enablement
Convert recorded processes and trainings into written SOPs and onboarding docs. One Loom becomes a guide that doesn't require pressing play.

Frequently asked questions
Can VidNotes transcribe Loom videos?+
Yes. VidNotes handles Loom recordings shared with a public link. Copy the loom.com share link, paste it into VidNotes on iOS, Android, the web app at app.vidnotes.app, or the Chrome extension, and you get a full transcript with timestamps.
Do private or password-protected Looms work?+
Link-based transcription needs a publicly accessible share link. For a restricted Loom, download the recording from Loom and upload the video file to VidNotes instead — file uploads are fully supported.
What languages does Loom transcription support?+
VidNotes covers 30+ languages for Loom transcription, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, and more. Language detection runs on the audio for you, so there's nothing to pick from a menu.
Is Loom transcription free?+
VidNotes has a free account so you can put Loom transcription through its paces before subscribing. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial before the $49.99/year subscription, while monthly is $9.99/month for unlimited transcriptions across Loom, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and local video files.
Do I get more than just a transcript?+
Yes. Every Loom transcription comes with the full text plus AI summaries, action items, flashcards, and a chat where you can ask questions about the recording. Export it all as PDF, TXT, or Markdown.
How accurate is Loom transcription?+
VidNotes runs on OpenAI's Whisper model, trained on 680,000 hours of multilingual audio. Looms are usually a single speaker talking to a microphone — close to the best case for AI transcription — so accuracy lines up with professional transcription services.
