Before you transcribe
Which video links work?
TokScript supports public TikTok videos, YouTube videos, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels/video posts. It prefers available source-language captions and otherwise uses AI speech recognition. Review the transcript before reuse; platform access restrictions can prevent processing.
Can I get a transcript from a TikTok video without captions?
When source-language captions are unavailable, AI speech recognition transcribes the audio into editable text with timestamps. Automatic transcripts can contain errors; review the words and timing before publishing.
What can I transcribe for free?
Videos up to 3 minutes are free for everyone, with no signup required. For longer videos up to 2 hours, sign in to review the exact duration and credit cost before confirming. Full videos use 1 credit per started minute. One-time time packs start at $9 for 600 minutes, valid for 365 days with no automatic renewal.
Which subtitle formats?
SRT includes numbered cues and timestamps for subtitle workflows. VTT is a web-caption format. TXT contains the transcript without timing. All three exports use your current edited words. This tool does not burn captions into a video, add animated karaoke effects or export ASS files.
Does this tool generate new TikTok scripts?
No. TokScript transcribes speech from an existing recording or video. You can optionally translate the resulting subtitles into a chosen language with a paid account. It does not write new scripts or render captioned videos.
Where are transcripts kept?
Anonymous transcripts can be reopened in their original browser for 24 hours using the task link. Sign in to save transcripts to your history, where free results are kept for 7 days and paid results for 30 days.
