Instagram transcript
Instagram Reelto text, free.
Paste the link of a public Reel or video post and get everything that's said as text you can copy, save or turn into captions.
How it works
Copy the Reel link
Tap the paper plane (Share) → Copy link, or copy the address on the web.

Instagram rarely has captions you can copy, so we transcribe the audio with AI speech recognition.

Saving recipes and tips from Reels
A lot of the best recipes, workouts and how-tos on Instagram are only spoken, never written in the caption. Paste the Reel here and you get the full instructions as text in under a minute.
Only public posts work. Reels from private accounts can't be read.
Questions
How do I get the text from an Instagram Reel?
Copy the Reel's link, paste it here and press Get transcript. The spoken words come back as text.
Does it work on private accounts?
No. Only public Reels and video posts can be transcribed.
Is it really free?
Yes. You get 5 free transcripts a day with no account and no watermark. If you need more, credits start at $5 for 200 transcripts, with no daily limit, videos up to 2 hours and a bulk tool for lists and whole channels. No subscription.
How accurate is the transcript?
When the video has captions we use them as they are, which is the most accurate option. When it doesn't, the audio is transcribed by AI speech recognition (Whisper), which handles accents, fast talk and background music well. Names and slang can still need a quick check.
Which languages work?
Speech-to-text works in about 100 languages and detects the language for you. Captions come in whatever language the creator or platform added.
Can I get timestamps or subtitles?
Yes. Turn on Timestamps to see the time of each line, or download the transcript as an SRT or VTT subtitle file for video editors and YouTube.
Do you store my videos?
No. We never download or keep the video. We keep the text transcript of public videos for 30 days so the next person who asks for the same video gets it instantly.
Need more than 5 a day?
Credits from $5 for 200 transcripts: no daily limit, videos up to 2 hours, and a bulk tool for 50 links or a whole channel at once, with CSV and JSON export. No subscription.
