Reddit video transcript
Captions are rare on Reddit and the sound is usually the whole point, so a Reddit video transcript fills a real gap. Paste a post link and read the clip as text, timings included so you can follow along. Any public clip turns into text you can read and copy, free.

How to transcribe a Reddit video
Use Share and Copy link on the post itself rather than the comment you are reading. Short redd.it links work too. Paste it above and press Get transcript.
Reddit stores video and audio as separate files, so a clip that looks silent elsewhere still reads correctly here.
Posts, crossposts and comments
Standard v.redd.it posts and crossposts both resolve. Videos in private subreddits, quarantined communities and removed posts do not.
If the post is gone, save the file first and use the upload tool, which works entirely from your device.
What it is good for
Quoting a clip in a comment, keeping the words of a post that may be deleted, writing captions for a repost, or simply reading a video in a quiet room.
Where the words come from
Reddit video is frequently a re upload with compressed audio, which lowers accuracy a little.
When a caption track already exists it is read directly, which is fast and matches what the platform shows on screen.
When there is none, the audio itself is transcribed, which takes a little longer and depends on how clearly the speaker was recorded.
Reading beats rewatching
Skimming a page of text for the one sentence you needed takes seconds, where scrubbing a Reddit post back and forth takes minutes.
A transcript is searchable, so a recipe quantity, a price or a name is found with a browser find rather than a replay.
It also gives you something quotable, since the wording is in front of you instead of half remembered.
What to check before you use it
Names, brands and places are the usual errors, because they are guessed by sound.
Background music and two people talking at once both lower accuracy noticeably, so busy clips need a read through.
Punctuation is inferred from pauses rather than heard, so long stretches of speech come back with fewer full stops than you would write.
Questions people ask
Does the transcript include the audio track?
Yes. Reddit keeps video and audio separate, and the audio is what gets read, so nothing is lost.
Can I transcribe a video from a private subreddit?
No. Only publicly reachable posts can be read. Download the file yourself and use the upload tool instead.
Which formats can I save?
TXT, SRT and VTT, and the subtitle formats keep a timing on each line.
Do you keep the video?
No. It is read once to produce the text and nothing is written to our storage.
Does the video need captions turned on?
No. If Reddit has a caption track it is used, and if not the audio is transcribed instead.
Can I get the text with timestamps?
Yes, timings come through where the source carries them, and the plain text version is there too for pasting into notes.
Does it work on private posts?
No. Only content that is already public can be read, since nothing signs in on your behalf.
