TikTok Transcript: Convert Any TikTok Video to Text

VidNotes is one of the only tools that actually does TikTok video transcription. Paste any TikTok link and get an accurate transcript with AI summaries, flashcards, and more, in 30+ languages.

How it works

01

Copy the TikTok link

Open TikTok, hit share on any video, and copy the link. VidNotes takes any TikTok URL format, shared links with tracking parameters and direct video URLs included.

02

Paste in VidNotes

Open VidNotes on iOS, the web app at app.vidnotes.app, or the Chrome extension and paste it in. VidNotes spots the TikTok URL on its own and starts working on the video.

03

Get transcript + AI features

Seconds later you've got a full text transcript plus AI summaries, flashcards, action items, and a chat to ask questions about what was said.

Why transcribe TikTok videos?

Content repurposing

Turn TikTok videos into blog posts, newsletters, tweets, or video scripts. Export transcripts as Markdown, TXT, or PDF and drop them straight into your content workflow.

Accessibility

Make TikTok content reachable for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, or anyone who'd rather read than watch. Get an accurate text version of any spoken content.

Language learning

Transcribe TikToks in the language you're learning and read the text while you listen. Build flashcards from foreign-language clips to grow vocabulary out of real, in-the-wild speech.

Research and reference

Build a searchable archive of TikTok content for academic research, market analysis, or trend tracking. Every transcript lives locally on your device and stays searchable offline.
