TL;DR
This Facebook to transcript tool accepts public video links. It uses the video's subtitle track when available or creates text from the audio, then gives you a timestamped Facebook video transcript to search, copy, and export. A free account is required for link transcription.

Read and export
Search or copy the result, then export it in an available text or subtitle format.
Facebook video transcript, not a video download
A Facebook transcript contains the words spoken in the video. It is useful when you need to find a quote, review a long recording, prepare notes, create accessible captions, or repurpose your own content without replaying the clip.
The Facebook transcript generator first checks for usable captions. When a public video has no captions, it can transcribe the audio instead. Names, numbers, overlapping speakers, and noisy recordings are always worth checking against the original video before publication.
If you want the media file rather than the words, use the Facebook video downloader. The two pages serve different jobs, so you can choose the output you actually need.
Facebook transcript questions
How do I get a transcript of a Facebook video?
Copy the link to a public Facebook video, paste it above, and create a free account when prompted. We use a subtitle track when one is available or transcribe the spoken audio.
Can I transcribe a Facebook video with no captions?
Yes. If the public video has no usable captions, the tool creates text from its audio. Clear speech with little background noise produces the best result.
Can I transcribe a private Facebook video?
No. The link must be public and accessible without the owner's private Facebook session. Private, deleted, age-restricted, or region-blocked videos may not be available.
Can I download the Facebook transcript?
Yes. Available exports include TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, and VTT, depending on your plan. SRT and VTT keep timing for captions.
Is a Facebook transcript the same as subtitles?
The transcript is the spoken text in reading form. SRT and VTT subtitle exports contain the same text split into timed caption cues for a video player or editor.
What can I do with the transcript?
Search a recording, extract quotes, prepare notes, improve accessibility, study a talk, or repurpose a video you own. Check the original audio before publishing names, dates, or figures.
