To get a TikTok transcript, paste the video link below and select Get transcript. TubeTranscript uses TikTok's own captions when the video has them and transcribes the speech with AI when it does not. You get the text with timestamps, ready to copy or download as TXT, SRT or VTT, for videos up to 3 minutes.
How to get a TikTok transcript in 3 steps
- In TikTok, tap Share and Copy link, or copy the address from your browser.
- Paste the link above and select Get transcript.
- Copy the text, or download it as TXT, SRT or VTT.
Captions first, AI when there are none
Many TikTok videos carry captions that TikTok makes from the speech. When a video has them, the transcript uses them as they are. When it has none, the speech is transcribed with AI, which takes a little longer. Either way every line keeps its time in the video, so the SRT and VTT files line up with the clip.
What you can do with the text
Paste it into ChatGPT or Claude to summarize or rewrite it (split a long transcript first if needed), remove filler words, or translate the SRT into another language for subtitles.

Is my transcript public?
No. TikTok transcripts are private to you and are never published or added to the public library.
Does it work with TikTok photo posts?
No. A photo post or slideshow has only background music and no speech, so there is nothing to transcribe.
Can I paste a vm.tiktok.com link?
Yes. Short share links from the TikTok app (vm.tiktok.com and vt.tiktok.com) work as well as full tiktok.com links.
Do I need a TikTok account or the app?
No. The video only needs to be public; you paste its link here.
Does the transcript have timestamps?
Yes. Each line keeps its start time, and the SRT and VTT downloads carry the full timing.
