How it turns a video into text
Paste the link and press Get transcript. When the video already carries captions, those exact lines are used, so the wording and the timings match the creator's own file.
When there are no captions, which is normal for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Reddit, Pinterest and Bilibili, the clip's audio is read by speech recognition instead and the text is built from what was actually said.
Which platforms work
TikTok, Instagram reels, YouTube videos and Shorts, Facebook, X, Reddit, Pinterest and Bilibili all go through the same box. There is no separate page to hunt for.
Anything public resolves. Private accounts, deleted posts and members only uploads do not, because the audio never leaves the platform in the first place.
Copy it or save a subtitle file
Switch between plain text and a timestamped view, then press Copy transcript to take whichever one you are looking at straight to your clipboard.
TXT is for notes and drafts. SRT drops into a video editor and VTT into a web player, and both keep a timing on every line.
On a transcribed clip the timings are spread evenly across the clip's length rather than measured word by word, so treat them as close rather than frame accurate. Captions pulled from a video that has them are exact.
What people do with it
Turning a talk into notes, quoting a clip accurately, writing subtitles for a repost, feeding a long video to a summariser, or reading something in a place where sound is not an option.
The text belongs to whoever said it. Quoting and studying it is ordinary. Republishing a whole script as your own is not.
Questions people ask
Does this work for TikTok and Instagram, not just YouTube?
Yes. Every platform we support goes through this one box. Clips without captions are transcribed from their audio.
How accurate is the transcript?
Captions taken from a video are exact. Speech recognition is very close on clear speech and gets weaker with heavy background music, crosstalk or thick accents.
Can I download it as SRT or VTT?
Yes. Every transcript can be saved as TXT, SRT or VTT, and the subtitle formats keep a timing on each line.
Are the timestamps exact?
On captioned videos, yes. On transcribed audio they are estimated across the clip's length, so nudge them in your editor if you need frame accuracy.
Do you keep the video or the text?
No. The clip is read once to produce the text and nothing is written to our storage.
