Get a Transcript From a TikTok Video
A TikTok worth keeping is usually worth reading — for research, scriptwriting, or a citation you can actually copy and paste. Because TikTok restricts automated link fetching, save the video to your device and drop the file in here. You get an immediate duration and word estimate free, and our AI transcribes the speech with millisecond timestamps and optional speaker labels into a clean, readable exchange.

What you get: a real transcript
Unedited output from a 64-second interview with two speakers (synthetic voices), transcribed with speaker detection on. Only the first lines are shown.
SPEAKER_00 (0:00) Welcome back to Small Shop Stories. SPEAKER_00 (0:02) Today I'm talking to Maya, who runs a tiny bakery on the SPEAKER_00 (0:05) corner of Mill Street. SPEAKER_01 (0:07) Thanks for having me. SPEAKER_01 (0:08) It's really small, just two ovens and a counter. SPEAKER_00 (0:12) So how does a normal day start for you?
1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,680 [SPEAKER_00] Welcome back to Small Shop Stories. 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,320 [SPEAKER_00] Today I'm talking to Maya, who runs a tiny bakery on the 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,320 [SPEAKER_00] corner of Mill Street.
Checked against the script, 4 of 189 words differed — a 2.1% word error rate, counting "80" written for "eighty" as an error — and all 14 speaker turns were labelled correctly. This was clean speech; noisy recordings and people talking over each other score lower. See the full transcript and how it was scored

Frequently asked questions
Can I transcribe directly from a TikTok link?
No. TikTok's platform restrictions block automated servers from downloading audio directly from a pasted video link. To transcribe a TikTok, save the video to your device first: in the TikTok app, tap Share then Save Video (or use a browser video downloader), and drop the MP4 file into the estimator here. You will see an instant free length and word estimate, followed by full transcription with speaker detection.
Does it handle languages other than English?
Yes — about 98 of them, detected automatically, so you do not have to tell it what it is listening to. Transcribing non-English speech straight into English is available on every plan, including the free one; translating a finished transcript into 134+ languages is free on every plan too.
Do I need to install anything?
No. ScribeToAny runs entirely in your browser — there is no software, extension, or app to install. Once you save the TikTok video to your device, simply upload the MP4 file here to transcribe, edit, and export.
Will voice effects or TikTok's text-to-speech voice transcribe?
Text-to-speech voices are clear and usually transcribe well. Heavy pitch-shift or robot-voice effects make words harder to recognise, so expect more lines to correct on those clips.
How many TikToks can I transcribe?
On the free plan, 2 files a day and 100 minutes a month. Paid plans have no daily limit, include 1,500 or 3,000 minutes a month, and take up to 6 files per upload, transcribed in parallel.
