Less replaying. More getting things done.
A transcript you can actually work with.
Find the exact line
Search the transcript and keep source timestamps close when you need them.
Copy it your way
Keep the timestamps, read clean text, or add context for a conversation with Claude.
Take it with you
Download TXT, SRT or VTT. Link captions retain source timing; file transcription estimates it.
From video to usable text.
Choose a Reel
Paste a public Reel URL to try importing its video, or choose Upload video for a saved copy. The platform must expose a public video; private and sign-in-only posts cannot be imported.
Select its spoken language
Choose French, English, Arabic, Spanish or another listed language, or use automatic detection. The model transcribes the speech in its original language.
Review and download
Check the words and timing against your Reel. Copy plain text for a script reference or download TXT, SRT or VTT for your editor.
Choose the workflow that fits your video.

A few things to know.
Can I paste an Instagram Reel URL?
Yes. Paste a public Reel link to try importing its video for on-device transcription. Some posts do not expose a downloadable public video. When that happens, upload a saved copy instead. No Instagram login or cookie sharing is required.
Is my Reel uploaded to a server?
Selected file uploads are not sent to our server. Link imports download the public video through TranscriptVid, then speech recognition runs in your browser. Imported video bytes are streamed without server-side storage.
Can I transcribe private Instagram videos?
Only use a file you already have permission to access and use. TranscriptVid does not sign in to Instagram, download private content or bypass access restrictions.
