How to Transcribe a TikTok Video to Text

Need the words from a TikTok video as text? Here is the quickest way to get a clean transcript.

Published 2026-10-11

What you need

A public TikTok video link, or the video file saved on your device, and a free TranscribeAI account.

Steps

  1. Open the TikTok video, tap Share, then Copy link.
  2. Open TranscribeAI and choose TikTok.
  3. Paste the link into the video link field.
  4. Pick the spoken language, or leave automatic detection on.
  5. Press Transcribe and wait for the text to appear.
  6. Copy the transcript, or export it if your plan includes the format you need.

If the link does not work

Private videos and videos removed by the creator cannot be transcribed from a link. If you have the video saved on your phone or computer, upload the file instead using the Upload a file area.
