To transcribe a pre-recorded video, you need to upload it to the Otter website from your computer's hard drive. If you have the video file on your computer, you can transcribe it!

This may include instructional video created with Capture, Camtasia, recorded Zoom sessions, or even video that you recorded with your smartphone.
