FAQ

Which platforms are supported?

Instagram Reels, TikTok videos, YouTube Shorts and X (Twitter) videos. Public posts only.

Is it free?

Yes. Paste a link and get the transcript, no account needed. To keep it free for everyone there is a small daily limit per visitor.

Do you store the video?

No. We never download or host the video. We only fetch the spoken words, and we keep the text so the same video loads instantly next time.

What if the video has no speech?

Videos that are only music, sound effects or text on screen have nothing to transcribe. The tool will tell you instead of returning made-up text.

What can I do with a transcript?

Study the hook and structure of videos that went viral, turn a video into a blog post or thread, add captions, or quote it accurately. Our creator breakdowns use the same transcripts to decode whole accounts.
