Paste a TikTok 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 a TikTok video, as text and subtitles
A TikTok 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 transcript is made by speech recognition, so check names, brand terms and slang before you quote them.

[ 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.
Videos up to 10 minutes are transcribed; most TikToks are far shorter.
A run is not used when the link cannot be read, the video is private or removed, or something fails on our side.
[ Why marketers use it ]
Read a TikTok ad instead of replaying it — hook, offer and CTA on one screen
A TikTok transcript lets a marketer read a video instead of replaying it. The text shows the hook in the first seconds, the offer, the objection the creator answers and the call to action, in a form you can search, compare and quote.
One video is quick. A competitor is not: dozens of creatives across several countries, and the question is which message they keep and which they dropped. Pasting links one at a time does not get you there.
In Spytrend the ads are already collected, so there are no links to hunt for: open a brand and, on a paid plan, turn any of its video ads into text with one click.

Every Facebook and TikTok video ad a brand runs, one click from a transcript
Spytrend is an ad intelligence platform for Facebook and TikTok advertising: a full five-year archive of ads, AI-classified into 33 business categories, with every advertiser assembled into a single card — all ads, pages, domains and countries in one place. On paid plans, any video ad in Spytrend can be transcribed in one click.
Who uses it this way
A creative strategist planning next month’s shoot reads the longest-running ads in the niche and briefs the team on the angle that keeps working. A brand manager reads what a rival says in each country without watching hours of video.
What you see next to the transcript
- Run time and reuse. Launch date, days running and how many times the same creative was uploaded again as a new ad. An ad that runs for months is the one paying for itself.
- The whole advertiser. All ads, pages, domains and countries of one player in a single card, with an ad-spend estimate as a from–to range.
How it works step by step
- Search a brand or a domain. Type a competitor’s name or website to open all of its ads.
- Transcribe the longest-running. Sort by run time and turn the top video ads into text: the hook, the offer, the objection they answer.
- Compare across countries. The angle that runs in every market is the one to brief your team on.
