How to bulk export tl;dv transcripts (2026)

Short answer: tl;dv has no built-in "download all" for transcripts. Its help center says: "Right now, we don't support bulk transcript downloads or exports". On tl;dv's public feature board, the request "Allow downloading meetings in bulk" is marked "in progress" (checked Oct 16, 2026). Until it ships, you have three options.

Option 1: Copy each transcript manually (any paid plan)

  1. Open a meeting and go to the transcript tab.
  2. Hover over the transcript and click the copy button.
  3. Paste it into a document and save with a clear name, e.g. 2026-03-15-client-name.md.
  4. Repeat for every meeting.

tl;dv notes that both the meeting owner and the person downloading need a Pro or Enterprise plan to download a transcript. This works for a handful of meetings, but not for hundreds.

Option 2: Use the official tl;dv API yourself (paid plan with API access: Pro, Business or Enterprise)

tl;dv's public API (v1alpha1) can list your meetings and return each transcript. You authenticate with an x-api-key header, generated in your tl;dv settings (tl;dv's API docs list API access on Pro, Business and Enterprise). The loop looks like this:

GET /v1alpha1/meetings                          → list meetings (paginated)
GET /v1alpha1/meetings/{meetingId}/transcript    → transcript per meeting

Page through until no meetings remain, save each transcript, and back off if you get rate-limited. The API is labeled alpha, so check tl;dv's API docs for current parameters.

Option 3: One-click export (pre-order)

If you'd rather not write code, MinuteHaul (bulk export for tl;dv) runs Option 2 for you in your browser. It produces a ZIP of Markdown files plus an index.csv. Requires a paid tl;dv plan with API access. No meeting data stored.

Pre-order: $29 one-time or try it free on your 10 most recent meetings
