Do I need to download the video first?
No. The link is enough — we fetch the audio ourselves. Nothing is saved to your phone or computer.
Get the transcript of a TikTok
Paste the link. We pull the audio and hand back the words — timestamped, editable, ready to quote.
Yes — paste a TikTok URL and WhoScribe fetches the audio and transcribes it, so you never download the video. The text comes back with clickable timestamps and can be exported. Your first one needs no account, and every file shows its first 15 minutes free.
- The link is enough — nothing to download first
- Timestamps you can click to hear the line again
- Works with the share link and the browser address alike
From the link to the text
From a TikTok link to text
-
Copy the link
Either the share link or the address in your browser works. Both point at the same video.
-
Paste it above
We fetch the audio track only. The video never touches your device and nothing is saved to your gallery.
-
Read it back
Every line is timestamped, so you can click a sentence to hear exactly how it was said.
-
Take it with you
Copy the text, or export it as a file to caption, translate or quote.
Why the auto-captions are not the transcript
TikTok shows captions on screen, but they are built for glancing at a phone: cut into fragments, stripped of punctuation and impossible to copy out. A transcript is a different object — whole sentences, timestamps you can jump to, and text you can paste into a document. That is the difference between watching a video again to find one quote and searching the page for it.
FAQ
Questions before you upload
Try it on this pageDoes it work on private accounts?
No. If the video needs a login to watch, it needs one to fetch, and we do not sign in as anyone. Public videos and public share links work.
What about a language other than English?
Pick the spoken language before you start and it transcribes in that language. Around a hundred are recognised, and each has a page of its own.
Can I get subtitles out of it?
Yes — SRT and VTT are among the export formats, timed and ready to drop into an editor.
