Long Facebook videos are hard to skim and impossible to quote. Paste a link and read the whole thing as text, then copy the parts you need or save proper subtitles.
Any language is detected automatically, pick one for noisy or mixed language audio.

How to transcribe a Facebook video
Click the timestamp on the post or use the share menu and Copy link. A watch link, a reel link and an fb.watch short link all work. Paste it above and press Get transcript.
The text comes back split into short lines with timings, so you can jump to the right moment in the original while you read.
Watch videos, reels and live replays
Public videos, reels and finished live replays all resolve. Posts limited to friends, private groups and removed videos do not, because the audio is not reachable from a link.
Very long recordings take longer to read than a short reel, so give a webinar replay a moment before assuming it stalled.
Common uses
Pulling notes out of a group meeting replay, quoting a public statement accurately, writing subtitles for a cross post, or feeding a long session to a summariser instead of watching it twice.
Questions people ask
Does this work with fb.watch links?
Yes. Short fb.watch links, full watch links and reel links are all accepted.
Can I transcribe a private group video?
No. Only publicly reachable videos can be read. For anything private, download the file and use the upload tool.
How long can the video be?
Short clips and reels are fastest. Long replays work but take longer, and very large files may need to be uploaded as audio instead.
Do you keep anything?
No. The video is read once to produce the text and nothing is written to our storage.
