| Format | Use for | Check |
|---|---|---|
| TXT | Readable transcript, notes, summaries, research, copy-paste workflows | No caption timing; best for text work |
| Markdown | Structured briefs, articles, newsletters, internal docs | Great when transcript becomes writing material |
| SRT | Subtitle imports, caption review, video publishing | Requires timing and caption readability checks |
| VTT | Web captions, course platforms, HTML5 video players | Use when the destination expects WebVTT |
Simple rule
If a person needs to read or edit the transcript, use TXT or Markdown. If a video player needs to display captions, use SRT or VTT.
