export your data
One transcript in six formats, or everything in one zip.
Your recordings are already yours — plain files in your vault. Export is for the moments you want a transcript in a specific format, or the whole library in one portable archive.
export one transcript
- Open the recording.
- Click Actions (or press ⇧⌘K) and choose Export.
- Pick a format.
| format | good for |
|---|---|
| Markdown (.md) | notes apps, wikis, pasting into a doc |
| Plain text (.txt) | anything that reads text |
| WebVTT (.vtt) | subtitles for web video |
| SubRip (.srt) | subtitles for most video players |
| JSON (.json) | scripts and tools — full structure, speakers, timestamps |
| CSV (.csv) | spreadsheets |
A toast confirms the export and offers Show in folder.
export everything
- Open Settings → your yapyap → export.
- Click export all data.
You get one yapyap-export.zip: every recording with its audio, its
metadata, and a transcript beside each audio file, plus your speakers,
lenses, and vocabulary. Use it as a backup, or to move to another
machine — Settings → your vault → Import a bundle… reads it back in.
have a transcript beside every recording, always
You do not have to export by hand. yapyap writes a transcript file next to every audio file in your vault — pick the format under Settings → your vault → transcript format. See the file map.
