ShortTranscript

ShortTranscript does one job: it takes a public TikTok video or Instagram Reel/video post and returns an editable, timestamped transcript. The free tier needs no sign-up and gives up to three successful transcripts per UTC day for videos up to five minutes, with copy and TXT export — enough for creators and researchers who occasionally need to quote or repurpose a clip. One-time credit packs (no subscription) unlock videos up to 60 minutes, batches of up to 20 links, and SRT, VTT and DOCX exports for subtitles and documents. Billing is fair: each started minute uses one credit and failed tasks use none. It is honest about limits too — private links, Instagram Stories and translation are not supported, and accuracy depends on the source audio quality and whether the video is accessible. For social media managers, researchers and creators who want text out of short-form video quickly, it is a focused, low-friction tool.
