What is a Facebook video transcript?
A Facebook video transcript is the full spoken text of a video post, Reel, Watch clip or saved Live recording — every word written out so you can quote, subtitle or reuse the content without replaying it.
Transcript and captions from one link
A transcript is the complete spoken text as a readable document. Captions are the same words split into timed lines. EzScribe produces both from a single Facebook post URL.
No captions needed on the post
EzScribe transcribes the speech in the video itself, so a Facebook video works even when the post never had captions turned on.
No video download required
Paste the post link and EzScribe resolves the media from that URL. The original Facebook video is never saved to your device or republished.
Every Facebook video format
Supported Facebook content types
Facebook publishes video in several shapes. Paste the post URL for any of them — the workflow, the languages and the export formats are identical.
What EzScribe will and will not open
Facebook hosts public Page video and private personal content in the same place. Only the first is in scope.
In scope
- Public video posted by a Page
- Video you posted yourself
- Video you are authorised to process
Not in scope
- Posts limited to friends or a private group
- Anything that requires a login to view
- Content you have no permission to process

Before you transcribe
What EzScribe can and cannot transcribe on Facebook
Access to the post and the quality of its audio decide whether a useful Facebook transcript can be created.
Supported Facebook sources
- Public video posts, Reels and Watch videos with a full facebook.com URL.
- Saved Live recordings that are published on a page or profile.
- Videos with usable speech, even when the post shows no captions.
Access and accuracy limits
- Private, friends-only and group-restricted posts cannot be accessed.
- Facebook Stories expire and do not keep a permanent post URL.
- Music-only clips, crowd noise and overlapping speakers reduce accuracy — review names, numbers and quotations before publishing.

Facebook transcription FAQ
Facebook transcript generator questions
Straight answers about links, formats, Live replays and what the tool can actually reach.
Copy the public link from the post's three-dot or Share menu, paste it into the field above, and start the job. EzScribe generates a timestamped Facebook transcript you can copy or export as TXT, SRT or WebVTT.
Yes. A Reel is a normal video post, so paste its public link and the transcript is produced the same way as for any other Facebook video.
Yes, once the broadcast has been saved to the page or profile and has a public post URL. Live replays are often long, so the timestamped segments make it easier to find the part you need.
No. Private, friends-only and group-restricted posts cannot be accessed. The video has to be publicly viewable, or you need to be authorized to process it.
On desktop, open the video and choose Copy link from the three-dot menu or the Share button. On mobile, tap Share then Copy link. That may give you a short fb.watch link — if it does not resolve, open the post and copy the full facebook.com URL.
No. EzScribe transcribes the speech in the video itself, so it works on posts that never had captions turned on.
Yes. Once the transcript is ready, export SRT for video editors and social uploads, WebVTT for web players, or TXT for a clean readable document.
You can start with the available free allowance. Any credit use is shown before you submit a longer job, and credits are protected if processing fails.
You can paste a link and see the video details before signing in. Sign in is required to create and save the transcription itself.
Clear single-speaker audio produces the best results. Background music, crowd noise during Live broadcasts and overlapping speakers lower accuracy, so review important wording before publishing.
