ClipToTranscript
Free transcripts for TikTok, YouTube Shorts and X videos
ClipToTranscript is a free web-based tool that turns TikTok, YouTube, YouTube Shorts and X videos into readable, timestamped text. It is built for content creators, researchers, students and anyone else who wants a searchable or shareable text version of a video without paying for the service.
A user pastes a video link into the site and gets a timestamped transcript back within seconds; the tool reads a platform's existing captions when they exist and otherwise transcribes the audio itself on its own servers. Transcripts can be exported as plain text with or without timestamps, or as SRT or VTT subtitle files, and timestamps let a reader jump to the exact moment a line was said. Videos with existing captions can be any length, while audio transcription is capped at ten minutes. The site requires no account or sign-up and states there is no daily cap on use.
The service is entirely free, with no paid tier; it says it covers its costs through clearly labeled sponsor cards rather than subscriptions or user fees.
