Export transcriptions to CSV

VoiceQC exports the items in a Session as a CSV file you can open in Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets, or any text editor. The export captures the file names, the transcriptions, and the script (if you uploaded one). It does not currently export Properties — track that separately if you need it.

Export

1. Open the Session you want to export.

2. Wait for all transcriptions to finish — items still processing have an empty text field, and that empty field is what ends up in the CSV. If you export early, re-export when done.

3. Click the Export button in the Session toolbar (download icon labeled “Export”). The button is disabled when the Session has no items.

4. Your browser downloads the CSV automatically.

What’s in the exported file?

The filename and columns depend on whether the Session has a script attached:

Session has script?	Filename	Columns
No	transcriptions.csv	File Name, Text
Yes	scripts_and_transcriptions.csv	File Name, Script, Transcription

All cell values are wrapped in double quotes so that commas, line breaks, and quotes inside the text don’t break parsing. Internal double quotes are escaped by doubling (" becomes ""), per the standard CSV convention.

The text column header changes name when a script is present

Without a script the column is called Text. With a script it’s called Transcription alongside the Script column. The data is the same; only the header label differs.

What’s not exported?

• Properties. The CSV does not include any Properties (Name/Value tags) you’ve applied to Session items. If you need Property data, export at a different scope or copy from the UI manually.
• Timestamps. Item creation or transcription times are not exported.
• Audio. Only text — the WAV files themselves stay in VoiceQC.
• Per-character speech confidence. The export gives you the final transcribed text only.
