# 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.

<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).
