What is Social Media Transcription?

Social Media Transcription allows you to transcribe content from 70+ platforms by simply pasting the URL. From YouTube videos and TikTok clips to Twitch streams, Reddit posts, SoundCloud tracks, podcasts, news broadcasts, TED talks, and meeting recordings - LiteScribe handles it all. Instead of downloading videos manually or dealing with complex file formats, you can get instant transcriptions from any publicly accessible content. Perfect for content creators who need captions, researchers analyzing online content, marketers tracking brand mentions, or students transcribing lectures. The two most common jobs get pages of their own: turning an Instagram link into a transcript and pulling the text out of a Vimeo video.

No, LiteScribe automatically downloads and processes the video for you. Just paste the URL and we handle downloading, audio extraction, and transcription. You never need to download anything to your computer.

Currently, LiteScribe can only transcribe publicly accessible videos. Private, unlisted, or password-protected videos require the video owner to make them public or share them through other means like direct file upload.

Transcription time depends on the video length, but typically takes about the same time as the video duration (e.g., a 10-minute video takes about 10 minutes to transcribe). Processing includes downloading, audio extraction, and transcription.

Social media videos are typically processed without strict size limits, though very long videos (over 2 hours) may take longer to process. If you encounter issues with a specific video, try uploading it directly as a file instead.
