FAQ
Short video transcript downloader FAQ
Which short-video platforms are supported?
This workflow is designed for public TikTok videos, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels, including supported Facebook share/r links.
Does downloading a transcript also download the video?
Transcript export and video-file download are separate actions. This page creates TXT, SRT, or DOCX transcript files; available video qualities may appear in the result for eligible public sources.
Can the tool transcribe videos without embedded captions?
Yes. It processes spoken audio directly, so the source post does not need to include captions.
Which transcript format preserves timing?
SRT preserves subtitle timing for video editors. TXT is optimized for clean text, and DOCX is convenient for editing and review.
How much short-video transcription is free?
You can try one transcript without an account. A free account includes 10 transcripts per month, then 3 per day after the monthly allowance is used.
