About the Transcribe tool
The transcript tool listens to the audio of a public Facebook video and generates text you can download as SRT, VTT or a plain-text file. It is intended for accessibility drafts, note-taking and repurposing your own content.
The output is machine-generated. It can mishear names, accents, technical terms and overlapping speakers, and it may struggle with music or background noise. Treat the first result as a draft: read it against the video, fix errors, then publish or upload it.
SRT and VTT include timestamps and are suitable for video players and editors. Plain text removes the timestamps and is easier to read, search or edit into an article. The transcriber detects the spoken language automatically.
Only public videos can be processed, and the service does not ask for your Facebook login. Transcription takes longer than a simple download because the audio has to be processed. Prepared files expire after about one hour, so save the transcript when it is ready.
