Open the post on X, copy its link (x.com/username/status/...), and paste it into TranscriptX. The video's audio is turned into punctuated text with speaker labels — a short clip in seconds, an hour in about 1–2 minutes. You do not need an X account, and up to 5 hours a day is free. The post must be public.
X transcription takes the spoken audio in an X post — a video, a livestream replay or an audio clip — and turns it into written text. Instead of scrubbing through a 40-minute long-form video to find one sentence, you search the transcript and copy it.
X has become a video platform in its own right. Premium creators post long-form videos, news outlets stream live, and companies announce products on camera. Yet X offers no way to read, search or export what was said. An X video transcription fills that gap.
This page handles every way of asking for it — X transcription, X video to text, an X transcript generator — because the action is identical: paste the post link, get the words.
On mobile, tap the share icon under the post and pick Copy link. On desktop, copy the x.com address from your browser while the post is open.
Paste the link above and press the button. TranscriptX fetches the media from the public post — there is no file to save and no X login.
The transcript appears with punctuation, speaker labels and optional timestamps. Copy what you need or download it as a document or caption file.
Captions on X are hit and miss: many videos have none, and where they exist you cannot copy them as a clean document. An X transcript generator that works from the audio avoids both problems — if someone speaks in the video, you get the text.
TranscriptX separates voices from background music and crowd noise before transcribing, which matters on X, where much of the video is filmed on phones in loud places. On clear recordings, our internal tests measure around 95% word accuracy.
Length is not a problem either. As an X video transcriber, it treats a two-hour long-form video the same way as a 20-second clip: an hour of audio takes about 1–2 minutes, and anything up to 5 hours a day is free.
If you publish video on X, a transcript doubles as a caption file. Export it as SRT or VTT and the timing is already done — each line is matched to the moment it is spoken.
Captions keep muted viewers watching and make your videos accessible. Add the SRT when you post from a desktop browser, or import it into your editor to burn the captions into the video.
Pull a word-for-word quote from a statement posted on X, with the timestamp to back it up.
Turn each video into captions, a written summary and posts for other platforms from one transcript.
Track what executives, competitors and public figures say on camera without watching every video in full.
Build a searchable text archive of public video posts for a project, before posts are deleted or edited.

No. TranscriptX only needs the link to a public post.
No. Posts from protected accounts are visible only to approved followers, so TranscriptX cannot access their media.
Yes. Long videos are transcribed in one piece at about 1–2 minutes per hour of audio. A live stream needs to end and be available as a replay first.
Recorded Spaces can be transcribed too. See X Spaces Transcript for details.
Yes. Choose SRT or VTT to get a timed caption file, or TXT, DOCX or PDF for reading.
For a few days, so you can return to your transcript, then they are deleted automatically. Your content is never used to train AI models.

Up to 5 hours free every day, no X account and no sign-up. For recorded Spaces, use X Spaces Transcript; for other platforms, try YouTube Transcript or TikTok Transcript.
