The old way is slow and expensive

Manual translation, hired voice actors, days of waiting. Creators and teams lose time and money on every single video.

Skip the old workflow

Why does Facebook's built-in captioning fail on muffled audio or fast-paced comments?

How do I get accurate timestamps for engagement analytics when my video has overlapping speech?

What if my Facebook video is in Hindi, Swahili, or Vietnamese — and I need TXT for team review?

How It Works

Done in four simple steps

Upload, pick languages, and let the AI handle the rest. No software to install.

01

Upload your Facebook video file or paste its public link

A few clicks, that is all.

02

Select source language (any of 90+), leave target blank for transcription only

A few clicks, that is all.

03

Click 'Transcribe' — no translation step needed

A few clicks, that is all.

04

Export as TXT, SRT, or VTT for captions, reporting, or editing

A few clicks, that is all.

My church livestreams services on Facebook every Sunday, and the pastor wanted written versions for members who couldn't attend. We tried everything — the platform doesn't offer transcripts for live replays. I started running each replay through this tool on Monday mornings. By Tuesday, the sermon is a searchable document with timestamps. Members now find the exact moment the pastor talked about their question instead of scrubbing a two-hour video. One member told me it's the best thing the church has done online.

FAQ

Common questions

Does this work with Facebook Reels or only long-form videos?+

Yes — it handles Reels, Stories, Live replays, and Pages videos equally. Upload the MP4 or paste a public link. Output is TXT, SRT, or VTT, with no formatting loss on short or clipped audio.

Can I transcribe a Facebook video that mixes English and Spanish speech?+

SpeakVid detects dominant language automatically but does not mix languages within one transcript. For code-switched content, select the primary language — accuracy holds best on consistent speech patterns, and output is TXT, SRT, or VTT.

What happens if my Facebook video has no audio track?+

The tool returns an empty transcript with a clear notice. No guesswork or placeholder text. You’ll see the message before exporting TXT, SRT, or VTT — so you avoid wasting time on silent uploads.

Do I need to download anything to use this for Facebook?+

No download or extension is needed. Upload or paste your Facebook video link in the browser. Processing runs server-side, and you get clean TXT, SRT, or VTT — no watermark, no install, no sign-up.

How do I download a Facebook video transcript?+

Download the video (or export the recording from Facebook), upload it here, and export the transcript as SRT, VTT or TXT. Facebook does not offer a transcript download of its own, so uploading the file is the reliable route — and it works the same for posts, live replays and ads.
