How to transcribe a TikTok

  1. Copy the link. Tap Share, then Copy link. Short vm.tiktok.com links and full tiktok.com/@name/video links both work.
  2. Paste it and press Transcribe. Most TikToks are ready in well under a minute.
  3. Copy or download. Timestamps on for the timed version, off for a clean read. TXT, SRT or VTT.

The script, in text, in a minute

  • A TikTok script is 100 to 300 words. In text you can see the hook, the turn and the call to action at a glance, search it, and paste it into your notes.
  • TikTok's captions are pictures inside the player, when they are on at all. This gives you the actual words, with or without captions, as a file you can use.
  • Paste from TikTok's Share sheet on your phone and read the transcript in the browser.

Trend research
Read what people actually say on a trending sound before you make your version.
Captions for your export
Upload your finished video, download the SRT, burn the captions in, and post a version that reads with the sound off.

Questions people ask

How do I get the transcript of a TikTok video?

Tap Share on the video, then Copy link, paste it here and press Transcribe. The full transcript is on the page in about a minute, with timestamps you can switch off, ready to copy or download as TXT, SRT or VTT.

Do TikTok's own captions count?

TikTok's captions are pictures inside the player and can't be copied, and creators often turn them off. This transcribes the speech itself, so it works whether captions are on or not.

Private videos can't be reached; upload the file if it is yours. Photo slideshows aren't supported yet.
