The 30-minute founder interview, summarized
Transcript Summary Repurpose
00:00:08 We almost ran out of money three times in year one. Each time it was the same mistake.
00:00:19 Hiring ahead of revenue. We kept thinking one more engineer would unlock growth.
00:00:31 What actually worked: taking a customer call every day — personally — for six months.
00:00:44 If I started again, I'd stay under five people until we hit a million in ARR.

Video types

Works with every Facebook video.

We've tuned the pipeline to every kind of Facebook video — short, long, live, or watch-only — so you never have to think about what format you're pasting.

Facebook Reels

Short-form vertical videos up to 90 seconds. Perfect for extracting viral hooks and captioning for repurposing to other platforms.

Regular video posts

Standard videos from personal profiles, pages, and groups. Whether 30 seconds or two hours, we transcribe the full audio with timestamps.

Facebook Watch

Longer-form content from Facebook's dedicated video platform. Great for transcribing shows, series, and creator content published through Watch.

Live replays

Recorded Facebook Live sessions. Convert streams to text for blog posts, extract Q&A highlights, or add captions to the replay.

Tips

Getting the best transcript

  • Finding the URL — click the video to open it, then copy the link from your browser's address bar. On mobile, tap the three dots and select "Copy link."
  • Private videos — we can only transcribe public videos or videos you have access to view.
  • Videos with music — heavy background music may reduce accuracy on the spoken portions, but we'll still pull the dialogue.
  • Multiple languages — our AI handles most languages natively. You can also translate after generation.
FAQ

Facebook transcript questions we get a lot.

How do I get a transcript from a Facebook video?
Click the video to open it on facebook.com, copy the URL from your browser's address bar, paste it into the box on this page, and click Transcribe. On mobile, tap the three dots in the post and select “Copy link”. You get the full spoken text in about twelve seconds.
Does it work with Facebook Reels and Live replays?
Yes. Reels (facebook.com/reel/<id>), Watch URLs (facebook.com/watch?v=<id>), fb.watch share links, standard video posts, and recorded Live replays are all supported from one paste.
Is the Facebook transcript generator free?
Your first videos are free, no signup or credit card required. After that, paid plans start at a few dollars a month. See the credits page for pricing.
Can I transcribe private Facebook videos?
No. We can only transcribe publicly viewable videos or videos posted to Pages or accounts you have access to view without sign-in. Private group videos and friends-only posts are not supported.
How accurate are Facebook transcripts?
Very accurate on clean dialogue. Heavy background music or overlapping voices can reduce accuracy on the spoken portions, but the dialogue still comes through. Most languages are handled natively.
Can I download the Facebook video too?
Yes — paid plans include an MP4 download alongside the transcript. Useful for archiving Lives or repurposing Reels to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Instagram.
Can I translate the transcript?
Yes — translate any Facebook transcript into 40+ languages in one click. Cue windows stay intact for SRT exports, so localized captions stay in sync with the original edit.
Is there an API for Facebook transcripts?
Yes — the Facebook Transcript API exposes the same backend over REST for publisher pipelines and media archives. The Facebook MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor fetch transcripts directly inside chats.
“Our compliance team needs captions on every Facebook video we publish. This used to be a two-day cycle — now it is almost instant.”
