How to Transcribe an Echo360 Lecture
Updated 24 Apr 2026 · TranscriptX editorial
Step-by-step
1) Open the lecture on Echo360
Sign in with your campus credentials, open the specific lecture.
2) Share → copy public link (if available)
Click Share on the lecture. If your campus enables it, you'll see an option to generate a public link. Copy that.
3) Paste on TranscriptX
transcriptx.xyz → paste. Lectures are usually 50-90 minutes; transcription takes 2-3 minutes.
Common things that break
- Campus SSO required (most common). Most Echo360 deployments default to campus-only access. We can't sign in. You'd need the instructor's permission to generate a public link, or download the lecture yourself.
- No public sharing allowed. Some campuses disable public sharing tenant-wide. Download fallback is the only path.
- Edited sections. Instructors sometimes edit out discussion or name-drops. Edited gaps transcribe as silence.
- Lecture archived / retired. Campuses prune old lectures. Past the retention window, the content is gone.

FAQ
Echo360 has its own captioning — why use TranscriptX?
Echo360's caption accuracy is often poor on technical vocabulary. And their export is a restricted text format. We give you clean text, SRT, or VTT.
What's the download fallback exactly?
Click Download on the lecture while signed in (if your campus enables it). Upload the resulting .mp4 to Google Drive, share publicly, paste that Drive URL. See <a href="/guides/transcribe-google-drive-video">our Drive guide</a>.
Can I use this for ALL my semester's lectures?
If your campus allows public sharing, yes. Our batch tier handles multiple URLs. Worth confirming the sharing policy with the IT admin first.
