How do I get a transcript of a Facebook video?

Copy the video's link from Facebook's Share button, paste it here and press Get transcript. The speech comes back as paragraphs with a summary.

Does it work on Facebook Reels?

Yes. To transcribe a Facebook video, paste a public Reel's link, a video link, a share link or a short fb.watch link.

Can it read videos in Facebook groups?

Only when the group is public. Videos in private groups, or posted to friends only, can't be read.

Does the Facebook video need captions?

No. A video with no captions is transcribed from what is said in it, so an unsubtitled class or announcement still comes back as text.

Is the Facebook video transcript free?

The first transcript each day is free for a video or Reel up to 10 minutes. After that it starts at 75 credits ($0.15), and a video up to 30 minutes costs at most 195 credits ($0.39).

How long can a Facebook video be?

Up to 3 hours, so a whole class or service fits. Anything over 30 minutes costs more, up to 860 credits ($1.72); the price is shown before you start.

Can I transcribe a Facebook Story?

No. Stories have no lasting video link. If the same clip is on the page as a video or a Reel, use that.

Do I need to log in to Facebook?

No. You don't log in to Facebook and there is nothing to sign up for here.
