Wistia

The HappyScribe Wistia integration lets you transcribe Wistia videos and push captions back without ever leaving HappyScribe. Connect via OAuth to browse your Wistia projects, search for specific videos, and import them at the original file quality. Once transcription is complete, push SRT captions back to Wistia in multiple languages with automatic deduplication.

How it works

Authorize HappyScribe to access your Wistia account and you can immediately browse your project structure or search for videos by name. The integration imports video at the original file quality whenever available to ensure optimal transcription accuracy. After editing your transcript, push SRT captions back to Wistia. The integration handles ISO-639-2/B language code mapping and replaces existing caption tracks for the same language to avoid duplicates.

Key capabilities

• Project browsing and search — navigate your Wistia projects or search across all your videos by name.
• Original-quality import — videos download at the original file quality whenever available, with the highest-resolution MP4 as fallback.
• SRT caption pushback — push finished captions in SRT format directly to your Wistia videos.
• Auto-deduplication — Wistia replaces a caption when the language code matches an existing one, so updates stay clean.
• Multi-language export — push captions in multiple languages with proper ISO-639-2/B mapping for Wistia.

Caption pushback and language mapping

Wistia captions are pushed in SRT format, the standard for closed-caption files. HappyScribe automatically maps standard BCP-47 language codes to the ISO-639-2/B three-letter codes Wistia expects (eng, fra, deu, spa, por, etc.), so your captions display correctly regardless of language. When you push an updated caption for a language that already has a track, Wistia replaces the existing one — keeping your caption list clean and organized.
