Scribebit exports all six from the same transcript.

Steps

Upload the audio. Wait a few minutes. Read the text against the audio, fix names, then pick VTT. If you also need SRT, export it from the same transcript.

Scribebit works on files you already have. It does not take YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram links.
