# Export your transcript as a text file

> Export your transcript from Descript as a .docx, .txt, .rtf, .md, or .html text file.

Save your transcript as a plain-text or formatted document to reuse, share, or archive.

You can also export a transcript through [Zapier](/api-and-mcp/zapier), the [Descript API](/api-and-mcp/api), or [Descript MCP](/api-and-mcp/mcp). For a raw request from n8n, see [Call the API from Zapier or n8n](/api-and-mcp/other-endpoints).

<Note>
  **Wordless media and scene boundaries aren't included**

  A text export leaves out your script's [wordless media](/script-editing/wordless-media) and [scene boundaries](/visuals/boundaries).

  **Can I add timestamps to my transcript?**
