Search & transcripts

Find the moment
something was said.

Every caption track becomes searchable text. Search your library for a word or phrase and jump straight to the second it’s said, in any video.

In your library

Search titles, descriptions and everything said.

The support clip where someone explains refunds, the webinar minute about pricing, the lesson that mentions a feature: found in seconds instead of scrubbing through hours.

  • Matches show the timestamp and the words around them
  • Click a match to open the video at that moment
  • Phrases that run across two captions still match
  • Team members see results only from folders they can access

For viewers

A transcript they can search and click.

People skim video the way they skim articles. Let them.

  • Open the transcript from the player and search it
  • Click any line to jump there
  • Also on each video’s share page

More from your captions

Captions do more than subtitles.

Any language

Upload a caption file per language (WebVTT or SRT); viewers pick theirs in the player.

Search engines

On WordPress, the transcript is included in the video’s structured data, so search engines understand what it covers.

AI assistants

Ask Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor “where do we talk about SSO?” and get links that start at the right second.

Chapters

Chapters on the progress bar help people skip to what they need. Timestamps in imported descriptions become chapters automatically.

Over the API

Search results, with the moments, come back from the same API your team already uses.

Imported captions

Captions come across when you import from Vimeo or Wistia, and are searchable straight away.

Questions, answered

Do I need captions for search to work?+
Yes: search reads the captions on each video. Upload a WebVTT or SRT file (most editing and transcription tools export one), or import videos from Vimeo or Wistia with their captions.
Does Pellio create captions automatically?+
Not yet. Automatic captions are on the way; until then, upload a caption file from your editing or transcription tool.
Is search limited to one video?+
No. The library search looks across every video you can see, and the player’s transcript search looks within the one you’re watching.

Make every word in your videos findable.
