Does it work with vm.tiktok.com short links?

Yes — short links from the app are resolved automatically.

Why does a video say it has no captions?

Some videos are music-only or lip-syncs with no speech. If there is speech but TikTok didn't caption it, we transcribe the audio ourselves.

Yes. There is no account, no daily cap and no watermark. The site is supported by clearly labelled sponsor cards.

Which formats can I download?

TXT (with or without timestamps), SRT and VTT. Copy puts the text on your clipboard in one click.

Where do the transcripts come from?

From the captions the platform already generated for the video. When a video has no captions we transcribe the audio with an open-source speech model on our own servers.

How long can a video be?

Videos with captions have no limit. Videos without captions are transcribed up to 10 minutes.
