Which transcription tool should I use?

Start from where the video lives. The platform tools take a public link from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter (X) or Facebook and return an editable transcript. If you already have a finished transcript and need it in another language, use one of the three translators instead.

What is the difference between the transcript, subtitle and caption translators?

The transcript translator returns readable translated text for reading and repurposing. The subtitle translator keeps the original timecodes and exports SRT or WebVTT for video editors. The caption translator targets web players and social posts, where WebVTT and plain text are what you need.

Do I need a different tool for Shorts, Reels or Live recordings?

No. Each platform tool accepts that platform's short-form and long-form URLs — YouTube videos, Shorts and youtu.be links, Instagram Reels and video posts, Facebook videos, Reels and Live recordings.

Do all the tools share one credit balance?

Yes. Every tool draws on the same balance, charged by the video minute and rounded up. Nothing is charged for a job that fails.

Which formats can I export from any of the tools?

TXT for reading, SRT for video editors, and WebVTT for web players. Timestamps are preserved in all three, and the transcript stays editable in the browser before you download anything.

Do I need to install an app or extension?

No. Every tool runs in the browser: paste a link, review the transcript, export the file. There is nothing to install and no extension to add.
