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.
Try the public TikTok link
Paste the full tiktok.com/@creator/video link or a vm.tiktok.com share link. The source must expose a readable caption track.
Use your saved video if captions are unavailable
Select Upload video and choose an MP4 or another supported media file. Your audio stays on your device; the speech model downloads on first use.
Read the script and export
Choose the spoken language for a file, review the automatic text, and copy the script or export timed SRT and VTT subtitles.
Choose the workflow that fits your video.
| Source | Start with | What you receive |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube & Shorts | A public video link | Existing captions, with available language tracks and original timing. |
| TikTok | A public link or saved file | Accessible source captions, or on-device speech transcription from your file. |
| Instagram Reels | A public link or saved file | Public video import when accessible, with on-device speech transcription. |
Link captions: up to two hours, subject to source access and request limits. File transcription: up to five minutes / 10 MB. A failed link request is never replaced with sample text.
A few things to know.
Does every TikTok link work?
No. Caption tracks may be absent or inaccessible. The tool then attempts to import the public video and transcribe its audio on your device. If the platform blocks video access, upload a saved copy you are allowed to use.
Is the post description the transcript?
No. The post description may appear as the video title, but it is never returned as spoken text. A transcript must come from timed captions or speech recognition.
How long can my saved TikTok be?
Local speech transcription supports up to five minutes and 10 MB. Processing speed depends on your browser and device. The first model download is about 100 MB.
