Free Video Transcript Generator — 7 Platforms Supported
Video transcription converts the spoken words in any video into written text. SoScripted is a free transcript generator that works across seven social video platforms — no software to install, no account needed to preview.
Paste a video URL from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Pinterest. Our AI extracts the audio, transcribes every spoken word, and delivers a clean transcript with timestamps. Export as SRT subtitles, WebVTT captions, plain text, or JSON. Free credits included for every new account.
