How to get a TikTok transcript
- In the TikTok app tap Share → Copy link (on the web, copy the address bar).
- Paste it above and press Get transcript.
- Copy the text with or without timestamps, or download TXT, SRT, VTT or DOCX.
- Optional: translate it, or get an AI summary of the video.
Captions or AI: what you get
- TikTok has captions (creator-added or auto-captions): we read them as they are, instantly and without limit.
- No captions: we transcribe the audio with AI — usually 10–30 seconds — and the result is labelled AI transcript of the audio. 10 a day per network, videos up to 15 minutes.
- Music-only TikToks have no speech to transcribe; for your own longer recordings use Video to text.
