Video Transcriber
Paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook video link and get a text transcript — free, no sign-up required.
How it works
- Paste a public YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook video link above.
- Wait a few seconds while the video is fetched and transcribed.
- Copy the transcript, or read it alongside timestamps where available.
Limitations
- Only public videos can be transcribed — private or restricted content is not supported.
- Videos longer than 30 minutes aren't supported yet.
- A daily limit applies per visitor to keep this free for everyone; signing up for a free account raises it.
FAQ
- Which platforms are supported?
- YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook video links. Paste any public video URL from these four platforms.
- Is it free?
- Yes — a limited number of transcriptions per day, no sign-up required. Creating a free account raises the daily limit.
- How accurate is it?
- For YouTube videos with existing captions, the transcript comes directly from those captions. Otherwise, speech-to-text (90+ languages) is used, which is generally accurate for clear audio but can struggle with heavy background noise, overlapping speakers, or strong accents.
- Does this work on private accounts or videos?
- No — only public videos can be transcribed, the same public-data-only rule as the rest of SocialTrace.
