WEBM is what the browser records — text is what you need
WEBM is the web's native media container. Anything captured through a browser — a screen share, a webcam clip, a voice note in a web app — tends to land on disk as a .webm file. It plays fine and it searches not at all.
TranscribeX transcribes WEBM without an intermediate conversion step. Both video WEBM and audio-only WEBM (usually an Opus track) are accepted, so standup recordings, product demos, user interviews, and lecture captures can go straight from download folder to transcript.
Turn on speaker detection when several people are talking and each contribution is labelled, which makes a group call transcript readable instead of a wall of text. Export TXT for notes and follow-ups, or SRT when the recording needs captions before it is published.

Frequently asked questions
WEBM is the format browsers use for screen and webcam capture, and it is what tools like OBS, Loom exports, and several meeting recorders produce. If a recording came out of a browser tab, it is usually WEBM.
Yes. WEBM files that carry only an Opus or Vorbis audio track — common for voice recordings — are transcribed exactly like video WEBM files.
No. Converting first only costs you time and quality. Upload the .webm file directly and the audio track is read as it is.
Yes. Export as SRT and you get a timestamped caption file for the recording, ready to upload to YouTube or attach to an HTML5 video player.
The limit is file size rather than duration: 500 MB per upload, which covers most screen recordings of an hour or more.
