Tool
Transcribe X (Twitter) Videos to Text
Paste any X or Twitter post link and get an accurate transcript of the video with AI summaries, flashcards, and more, in 30+ languages. Works with x.com and twitter.com URLs alike.
How it works
Copy the post link
Open X, hit the share icon on any post with a video, and copy the link. VidNotes takes both x.com and twitter.com URLs, so older saved links work too.
Paste in VidNotes
Open VidNotes on iOS, Android, the web app at app.vidnotes.app, or the Chrome extension and paste it in. VidNotes spots the X URL on its own and pulls the video from the post.
Get transcript + AI features
Seconds later you've got the full text transcript plus an AI summary, flashcards, extracted action items, and a chat to ask questions about the video.
Why transcribe X (Twitter) videos?
Content repurposing
Turn viral X videos into threads, blog posts, newsletters, or LinkedIn content. Export transcripts as Markdown, TXT, or PDF and drop them straight into your writing workflow.
Quoting and reporting
Get exact wording from interviews, statements, and clips circulating on X. A transcript beats replaying a video ten times when you need an accurate quote with context.
Accessibility
Most X videos ship without captions. Generate accurate text versions of any spoken content so deaf and hard-of-hearing followers aren't locked out.
Research and trend tracking
Build a searchable archive of video content from X for market research, sentiment analysis, or competitor tracking. Every transcript gets stored and stays fully searchable.
