About the TikTok transcript generator
Good to know before you turn a TikTok into text.
This TikTok transcript generator turns the captions of a TikTok video into text. Paste the link and the full transcript appears on the page, ready to read, copy or save — with no app and no sign-up.
Most TikToks with speech have captions: TikTok creates them automatically for many videos, and creators can add or edit their own. This tool reads those captions, so the transcript matches the words TikTok shows on screen.
Turn on Show timestamps to see when each line is said, or leave it off for clean text that reads like a script. Copy Transcript puts all of it on your clipboard in one click, ready to copy into a chatbot or AI tool to summarise or translate, or into your notes.
You can also download the transcript as a TXT file, or as SRT or VTT subtitles with every line timed. When a video has captions in more than one language, pick the one you want from the list.
A video without captions has no transcript to show: TikToks with no speech, and videos whose creator turned captions off, can't be turned into text. Only public videos work; private and deleted videos can't be read.
To save the caption file exactly as TikTok publishes it, use the TikTok Subtitle Downloader.

Frequently asked questions
Help with getting TikTok transcripts.
How do I transcribe a TikTok video?
Copy the TikTok link, paste it here and press Submit. The transcript appears on the page, where you can copy it or download it.
Can I convert a TikTok video to text?
Yes. When the video has captions, this TikTok to text tool shows every spoken line as text that you can copy or save as a TXT file.
Can I get a TikTok transcript with timestamps?
Yes. Turn on Show timestamps to see the time of each line. The copied text and the TXT file include the timestamps too.
Can I download a TikTok transcript as SRT?
Yes. Choose SRT or VTT in the Format list to save the transcript as a subtitle file with every line timed, or TXT for the text only.
Why is there no transcript for some TikToks?
The transcript comes from the video's captions. Videos without speech, and videos whose creator turned captions off, have no captions, so there is nothing to show.
Is this TikTok transcript generator free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no limit, no sign-up and no TikTok login.
Can I get the transcript in another language?
Yes, when the video has captions in other languages. Every language it has is listed, and you can switch between them.
Can I download the script of a TikTok?
Yes. This TikTok transcript extractor pulls the script from the video's captions, so you can copy it or download it as a TXT file.
