How it works

  1. 1

    Copy the Facebook link

    Open the video, Reel, or Watch post on Facebook and copy its URL. Public videos work without any download.

  2. 2

    Paste it into LiteScribe

    Paste the link into the upload screen. LiteScribe extracts the audio and transcribes it automatically for posts, Reels, and Watch content.

  3. 3

    Get the transcript and summary

    You receive a timestamped transcript plus an AI summary and topic tags, so you can grab the message and key points quickly.

  4. 4

    Caption and repurpose

    Export an SRT to add captions, which improve reach and accessibility, or copy the text to reuse across Instagram, your blog, and email.

Doing this without uploading anything

The steps above use the LiteScribe cloud, which is the quickest way to get a transcript back. There is a second route for material you would rather not upload: once the recording is saved as a file, the desktop app supports secure transcription for confidential recordings on your own CPU or GPU. It is a desktop feature for Windows, macOS and Linux, and it needs a one-time model download. See the Local Mode feature page for the setup.
