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.
Mobile App
Transcribe Facebook videos straight from your phone. No desktop needed.
Share any public video directly from the Facebook app into GetTranscribe. Get the transcript, save it to a folder, and repurpose it — all from your pocket.
Paste a public Facebook video URL, transcribe, then switch between full text, timed segments, and word-level view — exactly like inside GetTranscribe after a job finishes.
Same layout as the in-app chat

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.

How it works
How to get a transcript from a Facebook video
Open the Facebook video or Live recording and click the three-dot menu → Copy link.

Tap Get Transcript and wait a few seconds while we pull the audio and run speech-to-text.
Review the text, then copy, download SRT, or send to your team.
Optional: save the run in a folder, run bulk batches, or connect an automation via integrations.

Browser
Chrome Extension
Right-click any public Facebook video in Chrome and transcribe it without leaving your tab. No copy-paste required.
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.

Straight answers for the searches people actually type before they transcribe a video.

Yes. Facebook Live recordings are saved as videos on pages and profiles. Share the video link publicly, paste it into GetTranscribe, and you get a full transcript of the broadcast — including timestamped segments.
Does it work with Facebook Reels?
Yes. Facebook Reels are short-form videos that work just like standard video posts. Copy the public Reel link, paste it in, and your transcript is ready in seconds.
Can I transcribe private Facebook videos?
No. GetTranscribe can only process publicly accessible Facebook URLs. Videos set to Friends Only, private groups, or restricted audiences cannot be fetched. Change the video to public before transcribing.
How do I get the link to a Facebook video?
Open the video on Facebook, click the three-dot menu or Share button, and choose 'Copy link'. On mobile, tap Share → Copy link. Paste that URL into GetTranscribe.
Can I export captions for Facebook videos?
Yes. After transcription you can download an SRT file, copy plain text, or view a timestamped transcript. Facebook Creator Studio accepts SRT files for adding closed captions to your videos.
Does it work with Facebook Watch videos?
Yes, as long as the video is public. Facebook Watch videos are treated the same as regular video posts — paste the URL and get your transcript.
