Turn a public video link into a transcript

Choose the right video link, read the result and check the words against the source.

Start with one video

Open the video you want to transcribe and copy its share link. For TikTok, a public video URL or a vm.tiktok.com or vt.tiktok.com share link is supported. For Instagram, use a Reel or video post. For YouTube, use an individual video or Short.

Paste the link into Single video on the matching tool page. A profile or channel link asks for a collection; it does not identify one video. If you only want one transcript, open that video first and copy its own link.

Submit or review the quote

Guests can try one complete single-video transcript each UTC day. After your first successful transcript, you can process another video with remaining credits; sign in to unlock its full transcript. Existing, unexpired unlocked results stay available. Signing in merges guest usage and does not grant another daily allowance. Every UTC day includes 3 daily credits for transcription and translation. Unused daily credits expire at 00:00 UTC and do not accumulate. Transcription uses 1 credit per started 5 minutes; translation uses 1 credit per started 5 minutes per target language. Batch and Upload require sign-in and can use daily credits.

When duration is not known yet, the service reserves up to 6 available credits for a video up to 30 minutes. A smaller reservation limits the duration that can be processed. The final charge uses the duration found during processing, and unused reserved credits are returned. Existing results can be opened without creating a second transcription.

Read the transcript before going further

The transcript appears below the input when processing finishes. Read the full text, use its timestamps to revisit a passage, then copy it or choose TXT, SRT or VTT from Download. Translation is a separate action after the transcript is ready.

Check names, numbers, product claims and important quotations against the original audio. Captions and speech recognition can both contain mistakes. A successful task means a result was saved; it does not mean every word has been checked by a person.

When a link cannot be transcribed

Private, deleted, restricted or inaccessible videos may not be available to the service. Music-only clips, silence or very unclear audio may have no usable speech. Try another public video, or use Upload if you have an audio or video file you are allowed to process.

If a request is still checking a provider response, open the existing task to follow its status. Avoid submitting the same source repeatedly while its outcome is being checked.
