Frequently asked
Does it work on TikToks without captions?+
Yes. The tool doesn't read TikTok's caption track; Whisper transcribes the speech from the video itself, so it works whether or not the creator turned on auto-captions.
Which links work?+
Video links from the TikTok app (Share → Copy link, which gives a short vm.tiktok.com or vt.tiktok.com link), full tiktok.com/@user/video/… URLs, and the bare video ID. Photo posts have no spoken video, so there's nothing to transcribe.
Is there a limit?+
Without an account you can transcribe 3 new TikToks a day; signed in, 20. Videos up to 10 minutes, TikTok's own ceiling. A TikTok someone already transcribed loads instantly and doesn't count.
Why might a link fail?+
The video is private, deleted, age-restricted or visible only to signed-in or followed viewers. The tool opens TikToks the way a logged-out visitor does.
What languages does it transcribe?+
Whatever is spoken: English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Hindi, Japanese and the rest of Whisper's ~100 languages. The transcript comes in the spoken language, not a translation.
Can I get the transcript of my own TikTok before posting?+
Yes — upload the video file to the video-to-text tool instead. To put the words on screen as styled, word-by-word captions, open it in the SoCaptions editor and export an MP4 for TikTok.
Is this allowed by TikTok's terms?+
The tool only opens public videos, the same way any viewer can, and keeps the text, not the video. Use transcripts in line with the creator's rights — quoting, notes, accessibility, or your own content. We're not affiliated with TikTok.
