Try the APIHow does a TikTok transcript generator work?
A generator takes a TikTok link, finds the caption track TikTok already holds for the video, and returns it as text with times. If there is no caption track, some tools transcribe the audio instead. The result is a transcript of what was said, not a description of the video.
The link goes to the owner’s tool or playground (open it). This website does not run the tool itself, and any limits on it are set by the owner and not shown here.
What do you get?
- Plain text you can copy.
- SRT or VTT files with start and end times.
- JSON with timed segments, for code.
- The language, and the other languages the video offers.
Why is there no transcript for some videos?
- The creator turned automatic captions off, or TikTok did not make a track.
- The video is private or was removed.
- The language you asked for is not available.
- TikTok blocked the request for a moment. Try again.
More on fixes: why a TikTok transcript is missing.
How do you paste a link correctly?
Copy the link from the share option or the address bar. Full links look like tiktok.com/@name/video/…. Short links from vm.tiktok.com, vt.tiktok.com and tiktok.com/t/ are resolved first. A bare video ID also works in the API.
Text, SRT or VTT?
Use text to read or paste into a prompt. Use SRT for most video editors and VTT for web players. Use JSON in code, where segments carry times in seconds. See formats for examples.
How accurate is the text?
It depends on the audio and on how TikTok made the captions. Expect mistakes on names, slang and music. We publish no accuracy figure because we have not measured one. Proofread anything you will quote.
Need many videos?
Use the API instead of pasting links. See the quickstart and pricing, or the batch workflow.
A note on rights
A transcript is the creator’s words. Respect their rights and TikTok’s terms, and do not republish a transcript as your own work. This site is not legal advice.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a TikTok transcript without captions?
Sometimes. Speech-to-text can transcribe the audio, but it is slower and less exact than a caption track, and it is not available for every request.
Does the generator work for private videos?
No. Private and removed videos cannot be read.
How accurate is the transcript?
Caption tracks made by TikTok are automatic and can be wrong on names, slang and music. Check anything you plan to quote.
Is the tool free?
Any limits or prices of the tool are set by the owner and not stated here. The API is paid; there is no free API allowance.
Can I download SRT or VTT?
Yes, through the API formats. The formats page shows both.
