How it works

1

Paste a link

Copy a share link from YouTube, X, TikTok, Vimeo, Dropbox, Google Drive and more.

2

We read or listen

Captions are used when the video has them. Otherwise the audio is transcribed by AI.

3

Get the text

The words as they were spoken, split into paragraphs. Copy it or download TXT and SRT.

TikTok video to text in seconds

In TikTok, tap Share, then Copy link, and paste it above. You get the spoken words as text you can reuse in captions, scripts or notes.

Short clips are usually done in a few seconds. Videos that only have music come back as "no speech found" and do not use your free minutes.

FAQ

How do I copy a TikTok link?

Tap Share on the video, then Copy link. Both tiktok.com and vm.tiktok.com links work.

Can I transcribe videos from private accounts?

No. Only public videos can be transcribed.

Do I need an account?

No. You can transcribe 20 minutes, in up to 2 transcripts, without signing up.

Can I upload a file?

Yes. Upload audio or video files up to 10 hours long or 5 GB. Your browser extracts the audio first, so only the sound is uploaded and long videos go up quickly. Files are deleted as soon as the transcript is ready.

Which AI models do you use?

Existing YouTube captions when the video has them in its original language. Otherwise Whisper large-v3, the most accurate open model from OpenAI, transcribes the audio. With speaker recognition on, a speaker detection model also labels who is speaking. No other AI rewrites the text. See our Acceptable Use Policy.

Can it tell who is speaking?

Yes. Turn on Recognize speakers under the link box. The number of speakers is detected automatically, and the transcript is split into Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on. It works for links and uploaded files.

Which languages are supported?

Most major languages. The transcript stays in the language spoken in the video.

Which links work?

Public videos and audio on YouTube (including Shorts), X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Dailymotion, Twitch, Loom, Bilibili and dozens of other sites; files shared from Dropbox or Google Drive (set to "Anyone with the link"); and direct links to audio or video files such as MP3, MP4, M4A or WAV. The link must be publicly accessible. Private, password-protected and copy-protected (DRM) videos can't be transcribed.

Do you keep the video?

No. Audio is deleted right after transcription. Signed-in users can delete transcripts from their history at any time.
