To get an Instagram transcript, paste the Reel link and click Get transcript. The tool listens to the video and writes down what is said, in the language it is spoken. Copy the text or download TXT or SRT. Videos up to 10 minutes work, and your first run is free, no sign-up.
Paste a Reel link and you get what is said in the video as text, plus the same words timed as subtitles.
What you get
The spoken words of an Instagram Reel, as text and subtitles
An Instagram transcript is the speech of a video written out. It is not the caption under the post and not a translation: you get the words as spoken, in the language of the video.
What comes out:
- The transcript. Everything said in the video as readable text, ready to copy into a brief, a note or a prompt.
- A TXT file. The same transcript as a plain text file you can keep or share.
- An SRT subtitle file. The same words with timestamps, ready for a video editor or a subtitle track.
The SRT keeps every line on its timestamp, so the words line up with the video in any editor.
How to use it
Instagram transcript generator: three steps
Paste the link
Open the Reel, tap Share and copy the link, or copy the address from your browser. Links to a public Reel or a video post both work.
Click Get transcript
The tool fetches the video’s sound and transcribes it. The language is detected for you.
Copy or download
The transcript appears on the same page, usually within a minute. Copy it, or download TXT or SRT.
To transcribe a YouTube video, use YouTube transcript; for a TikTok, use TikTok transcript; for a file on your computer, use Video to text converter.
Limits
Free version limits
Your first run is free, no sign-up. Leave your email for one more, then create a free Spytrend account and pay only for what you use. The same free account also opens Content AI video search with a daily limit.
Videos up to 10 minutes are transcribed; most Reels are far shorter.
A run is not used when the link cannot be read, the Reel is private or removed, or something fails on our side.
Why creators use it
Hook, beats and payoff of any Instagram Reel — on one screen
An Instagram transcript shows the hook in the first seconds, how the script builds and where it lands, in a form you can search, compare and quote. Your next script starts from what already holds attention, not from a blank page.
It works on your own Reels too. Turn a Reel that went well into a caption, a post or a carousel text, and pull the lines worth quoting without typing them out.
For one Reel, paste its link here. For the wider question, which formats are getting views in your niche right now, use Spytrend’s Content AI.

Reels and Shorts taking off in your niche, with their hooks and sounds
Spytrend’s Content AI finds the Reels and Shorts that beat their creator’s usual views in your niche, breaks down their hooks and sounds, and tracks the accounts you follow. Search by words or a #hashtag and filter by views, date, country and language.
What Content AI adds
- Which videos are worth reading. Video Search shows how far each Reel or Short beat its creator’s usual views, so you study the outliers in your niche, not whatever the feed served you.
- What drives an account. Profile Analysis reads the videos of an Instagram, TikTok or YouTube account and finds what drives its views, saves and shares.
Who uses it this way
A creator planning next week’s posts checks which formats beat their usual views in the niche and scripts from the strongest hook. An SMM manager or a video studio does the same for every account they run. A creative strategist breaks down a rival creator’s profile before writing the brief.
How it works step by step
- Search your niche. Type a topic or a #hashtag and filter by country, language and date.
- Open the outliers. Each video shows how far it beat its creator’s usual views. Start with the ones furthest ahead.
- Start the script from the hook. Note the hook, the format and the sound of the strongest videos, then write your own version.
