The spoken words, ready to work with
Read the transcript in its original spoken language. Keep the source close when a name, term or quote needs checking.
Search a phrase
Find the exact wording and move between matches.
Check the source
Use timestamps when available, then open the original video to verify.
Correct the text
Fix names or terms while keeping the original transcript.
Highlight a line
Save the parts you want to return to.
Copy or export
Take the text as TXT; export SRT/VTT when cue timing is reliable.
Reel or video post?
A Reel and a feed post have different URLs. A /p/ link can also be a photo or carousel: the post must contain an accessible public video.
/reel/...Public Reel

/p/...Public video post
Only if the post actually contains usable video
You can paste the share link as copied; tracking parameters are removed.
Find a line in a short spoken script
Search the fictional script or highlight a sentence. The Hook / Body / CTA labels are a manual illustration, not automatic analysis.
TranscriptJet does not analyze, score, write or rewrite hooks and CTAs.

Spoken audio, not text on screen
An Instagram transcript contains the words spoken in the video.
Words you can hear
Talking to camera, voiceovers and tutorial narration are transcribed with AI. Review names, terms and noisy passages for accuracy.
Automatic spoken-language detection · no translation
Words you can only see
Burned-in captions, stickers, overlay titles and text-only recipe instructions are not read from the image. If a word is never spoken, it does not enter the transcript.
No OCR
Keep the words you need
Tutorials and learning
Find a spoken step and return to the video to check it.
Research and wording
Keep exact phrases with their source. Verify context before quoting.
Why a link may not work
Private or follower-only
Your Instagram login is not used; the video must be publicly accessible.
Deleted or unavailable
A removed or inaccessible post cannot be retrieved.
A photo or carousel
A /p/ URL alone does not confirm a transcribable video.
Stories
Story links and ongoing live broadcasts are unsupported.
No spoken audio
Music or on-screen text alone may leave nothing to transcribe.
Instagram transcript questions
Is this free? Do I need an account?
First use needs no account. Guest requests are limited to 2 per rolling 24 hours, and AI transcription also uses your plan’s limit for generating subtitles from video audio.
Does Instagram need captions?
No. Public Instagram Reels and video posts use AI speech transcription directly; this tool does not extract an Instagram caption track.
Which language will the transcript use?
The transcript stays in the video's spoken language. Instagram audio transcription detects the spoken language automatically; TranscriptJet does not translate it.
Which Instagram links work?
Use an HTTPS instagram.com or www.instagram.com /reel/ or /p/ link. A /p/ post must actually contain a publicly accessible video. Tracking parameters are removed. Profiles, Explore, Stories and login-only content are unsupported.
Can it read captions or stickers on screen?
No. TranscriptJet transcribes speech, not image pixels. Burned-in captions, stickers and text-only instructions are not OCR inputs.
Can I download TXT, SRT or VTT?
TXT is available for text results. SRT and VTT require reliable cue timing; the workspace explains when they are unavailable.
How should I check a quote?
Search for the words, use timing when available, and open the original video to verify the speaker, wording and context before quoting.
