Social Video Transcript Scraper

More Social Platforms

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

This connector converts TikTok, Instagram (reels/posts) and X video posts into accurate, timestamped speech-to-text transcripts. It extracts spoken audio, performs automatic language detection (with optional language hints), and outputs a clean full transcript plus subtitle-style timestamped segments; it also returns video metadata such as platform, video identifier, creator username, caption text, and duration. The connector supports mixed-platform batches and dozens of languages, producing structured transcript and metadata outputs useful for subtitle generation, clipping, quote extraction, content analysis, and integration with AI/LLM workflows.
