Pick a format

With timestamps vs. without timestamps

Timestamps tell you when each line is spoken. Keep them when time matters. Drop them when you only need the words.

JobUseWhy
Quoting or clipping a momentWith timestampsJump to the exact second
Studying hook pacingWith timestampsSee how long the hook runs before the first payoff
Adding subtitlesWith timestamps (SRT)Editors need start and end times
Blog post, show notes, or caption copyWithout timestampsOne clean paragraph reads naturally
Rewriting into your own scriptWithout timestampsLess noise when you edit or paste into an AI tool

Opens in any app. The file holds the transcript (with or without timestamps, matching your toggle), then the caption and hashtags.

Use it for notes, docs, blog posts, show notes, and script rewrites.

Numbered cues with start and end times. Import it into CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or YouTube Studio to add subtitles without typing them.

Remaking the clip as a Reel? Set the recommended Reel size first so the subtitles land inside the safe zone.

Beyond speech

Extract TikTok captions and hashtags

For TikTok links, the tool also pulls the post caption and every hashtag from the public post. Open the Caption & hashtags tab after you generate.

  • Caption

    The text the creator wrote under the video, emoji kept, hashtags split out.

  • Hashtags

    Every tag in post order with duplicates removed, ready to paste.

  • Creator handle

    The @handle of the account that posted the video, for credit and notes.

Compare the spoken hook with the written caption to see how the creator splits the message between the two. Text burned into the video is not included. Use what you find as research for your own post, not as a copy of theirs.

Languages

Multi-language transcripts

Auto-detect

The spoken language is detected and transcribed as spoken. Spanish stays Spanish, Hindi stays Hindi.

Pick the language

Short or music-heavy clips can fool detection. Choose the language from the menu for a cleaner result.

Translate to English

Check Translate to English to get an English transcript with the same timestamps. Download it as SRT for English subtitles.

Works with dozens of languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Hindi, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Turkish, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. Translation is into English only.

FAQ

TikTok transcript FAQ

Can I get a transcript of a private TikTok?

No. The tool only reads public videos. Private, friends-only, deleted, age-restricted, and region-locked videos return an error. If the video is yours, paste its captions or an SRT file into the fallback box instead.

Is there a video length limit?

Yes. Each link can be up to 10 minutes long. For longer videos, trim the clip first or paste existing captions.

Do I need to log in or create an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no TikTok login. To keep it free, each visitor gets a few transcripts per minute. We do not keep the video or audio. The finished transcript is cached for up to 7 days so a repeat request comes back instantly.

How accurate is the transcript?

It uses Whisper large-v3 turbo speech recognition, which is very accurate on clear speech. Loud music, overlapping voices, slang, and brand names lower accuracy. Skim the text before you quote or publish it. The transcript covers spoken words only, not on-screen text.

Can it transcribe TikToks that are not in English?

Yes. It detects the spoken language automatically and transcribes in that language. If detection guesses wrong on a short or music-heavy clip, pick the language manually. Turn on Translate to English to get an English transcript with the same timestamps.

Lock the words before you record

Edit the transcript into your own script first. Changing lines after a voiceover means recording again. When the script is final, paste it into the TikTok voice generator to make the narration.
