X video to text: paste the post link.

The file you have

What can be read from X.

Works
Videos attached to public posts, from Share → Copy link, on x.com or twitter.com addresses.
Does not work
Posts from protected accounts, and videos in direct messages.
Long videos
Fine. Videos of an hour or more are fetched and transcribed the same way, up to 10 hours.
Spaces
Audio rooms have their own page: X Spaces to text.

A link works here. Paste the post's link in the box above. The post has to be public.

How it works

Three steps, the first one is the only one that takes any thought.

1

Copy the post link

On the post choose Share → Copy link.

2

Paste it here

A short clip is back in well under a minute.

3

Quote with confidence

Each line has its timestamp, so you can check a quote against the video before you publish it.

Good to know

What trips people up, and what to do about it.

Example. A reporter pastes the link of a 14-minute video statement posted by a minister. The transcript is back in about a minute, and the two sentences used in the story are copied with their timestamps for the fact-check.

What comes back

More than a wall of text.

The same four things for every X video recording, whatever its length.

A transcript with timestamps

Every line carries its time. Click a line to hear that second again, or search a name or phrase and jump to each place it was said.

A summary, chapters and key quotes

A brief with the takeaways, chapters with their start times, and the quotes worth keeping. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.

Questions answered from the recording

Ask where a topic came up or what was decided, and get the answer with the time it was said, instead of scrolling the whole text.

Every export

TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, JSON from the same transcript: a document to edit, caption files for video, plain text to paste, structured data for your own tools.

FAQ

X (Twitter) video to text, answered.

How do I transcribe a video from X (Twitter)?

Copy the link of the public post that contains the video and paste it in the box on this page. The speech is transcribed with timestamps.

Does it work with twitter.com links?

Yes. x.com and twitter.com links to the same post both work.

Can I transcribe a video from a protected account?

Not from a link. If it is your own video, upload the original file instead.

What does transcribing X video recordings cost?

The preview and the summary are free. A pack opens the full transcript: $4 for 500 minutes, $8 for 1,000 minutes, $12 for 2,000 minutes, $24 for 5,000 minutes. Packs are one-time, credits never expire, and Workspace is $19 a month if you transcribe every week.

How long can the recording be?

One file can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB. The box on this page takes files up to 500 MB; a larger file continues on the main upload page, which uploads it in parts. Most recordings come back in about two minutes per hour of audio.
