About This Tool

How do I get the transcript of an Instagram Reel?

Copy the Reel's link from Instagram (the three dots, then Copy link), paste it above and press Transcribe. The tool fetches the Reel's audio, AI speech recognition writes down every spoken word with its timestamp, and the transcript appears below in under a minute for a typical Reel. It works on public Reels and video posts in 99+ languages, Hindi and Hinglish included.

Use it to quote a creator accurately, turn a Reel into a blog post or a thread, study how a viral hook is worded, or keep notes from a tutorial. Copy the text in one click, or download TXT for writing and SRT or VTT if you need the timing. Sign in free to transcribe; new accounts get welcome credits that cover real transcription time.

How It Works

Instagram Transcript Generator: how it works

  1. 01

    Paste the Reel link

    Any public Instagram Reel or video post. Copy the link from the share menu in the app or from the address bar on the web.

  2. 02

    AI writes down the speech

    Only the sound is used. Every word gets a timestamp, and you pick the spoken language first for the best accuracy.

  3. 03

    Copy or download

    Copy the whole transcript, or save it as TXT, SRT or VTT. Timestamps let you jump back to any line in the Reel.

FAQ

Instagram Transcript Generator questions

Creating an account is free and comes with welcome credits that cover real transcription time, enough for many Reels rather than a single demo. Paid plans add more credits if you transcribe a lot.

No. It only reads public Reels and video posts that anyone can open without logging in. Private accounts, Stories and close-friends posts cannot be fetched, so the tool shows a message instead of a transcript.

Yes. Pick Hindi as the spoken language and the speech is transcribed in Devanagari. For captions on your own Reels in Hinglish written in English letters, use the Hinglish caption generator, which keeps the timing for every word.

No. The text under a Reel is what the creator typed. This tool listens to the audio and writes down what is actually said, which is usually far longer and is what you want for quotes, notes or repurposing.

Yes, with the free Instagram video downloader, which saves the Reel as an MP4 or its sound as an MP3. Download only content you own or have permission to reuse.

Yes. Upload your own video to the caption generator and the same transcription engine times every word, then styles the captions so they look designed before you export the MP4.
