What is GetTranscribe?

What is a Facebook video transcript?

A Facebook transcript is the complete spoken text of a video post, Reel, Live recording, or Watch video — every word your audience hears, written out so you can quote, subtitle, or repurpose the content without rewatching.

GetTranscribe turns that audio into editable text, SRT caption files, and timestamped segments so you can create blog posts, ad scripts, captions, and briefs from Facebook content — without manual typing.

Hey everyone—three quick hooks that stopped the scroll on our last campaign. First: show the result in the first second, then explain how you got there. Second: use on-screen text that matches what you say out loud. Third: end with one clear CTA.

After you transcribe, keep everything in folders, run bulk jobs, or plug into integrations.

Supported content

Supported Facebook content types

Video posts

Standard feed videos when the URL is publicly accessible.

Facebook Reels

Short-form vertical videos with public links.

Live recordings

Saved Facebook Live sessions on pages and profiles.

Facebook Watch

Public Watch videos and shows accessible without login.

Limitations

Private, friends-only, and group-restricted videos cannot be fetched.

Video ads or boosted posts with only music have nothing to transcribe.

Heavy background audio or multi-speaker panels increase word-level error rates — plan a light edit for brand quotes.

How it works

How to get a transcript from a Facebook video

  1. Open the Facebook video or Live recording and click the three-dot menu → Copy link.
  2. Paste the URL into the box at the top of this page. On desktop use the Chrome extension for one-click transcription from any Facebook tab. On mobile, share from the Facebook app into the iOS or Android app.
  3. Tap Get Transcript and wait a few seconds while we pull the audio and run speech-to-text.
  4. Review the text, then copy, download SRT, or send to your team.
  5. Optional: save the run in a folder, run bulk batches, or connect an automation via integrations.

1. Copy Link

Copy the public URL of any Facebook video, Reel, or Live recording.

Accuracy

Accuracy and limitations

Facebook Live recordings and talking-head video posts with clear audio consistently reach 95%+ accuracy in English. Multi-speaker panels, background music, or stream quality issues during Live broadcasts can lower accuracy — that is normal for every automatic transcript engine.

See every language we tune for on the supported languages page. Private or login-gated Facebook URLs are never processed.
