What people use TikTok transcripts for

Repurposing. The transcript gives you the words to turn a TikTok into a blog post, a newsletter item or a longer caption. The blog post generator drafts one from the same transcript, and TikTok's caption character limit tells you how much text fits under a video.

Accessibility. Download SRT and VTT to put captions on the video when you post it somewhere else, or see adding captions to TikTok for captions burned into the picture.

Research. Collect transcripts of the videos in a niche to quote them word for word, or to compare how different creators explain the same topic.

What it does

What the TikTok transcript generator does

It works from the link, so you go from a TikTok to its words without downloading or screen-recording anything.

Paste the link

Full tiktok.com links and the short links the app copies both work. If you saved the video instead, upload the file.

Timestamps you can keep or drop

The transcript keeps the timing of what is said. Leave the timestamps in for reference, or download clean text for a caption or a post.

Fix slang and names

Edit the transcript like a document: correct product names, slang and usernames, and rename speakers when more than one person talks.

Translate the words

Translate the transcript into 116 languages when you want the video's words in another language.

Take the next step with your video

Make a subtitle file, keep captions on the video, or choose a short moment to share.

Questions

Common questions

How do I get the transcript of a TikTok video?
Copy the video's link from TikTok, paste it into Exemplary AI and choose the language spoken in it. The transcript opens in the editor when it is ready, and you can copy it or download it.
Is the TikTok transcript generator free to use?
Yes, on the Free plan: 500 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. Each TikTok you transcribe uses credits from that allowance.
Can I get a TikTok's captions as text?
You get the spoken words as text: the generator transcribes the video's audio rather than copying TikTok's captions, so it works even when the creator did not add any. Text typed onto the video and the post caption are not part of the transcript.
Does a TikTok transcript include timestamps?
Yes. The transcript keeps the time of each part of the video, and when you download it as PDF, SRT, VTT, TXT or DOCX you choose whether to include timestamps and speaker names.
Can I turn a TikTok transcript into a blog post or a caption?
Yes. Edit the transcript and copy the parts you want, or generate written content from it in the app, such as a summary, a blog post, social posts or key quotes.
Can I upload a TikTok I saved to my phone instead of a link?
Yes. Upload the saved video file; the uploader takes MP4, MOV and WEBM video.
What languages can a TikTok be transcribed in?
Any of 99 languages. Pick the language spoken in the video before you start. The finished transcript can then be translated into 116 languages.
