Use a public Facebook link
The video or Reel needs to be publicly reachable, not hidden inside a private group, private profile, or login-only page. If the source cannot be opened publicly, transcript creation may fail.

Timestamped transcript
Add the link for the Facebook post you want to transcribe. The system checks whether the source is reachable and can be processed as a public video.
When the transcript is ready, read it with timestamps and make any needed corrections. This is the step to confirm speaker wording, fix names, and prepare the text for your intended use.
Download the finished transcript in the format that fits your next task. Available exports include TXT, SRT, VTT, CSV, JSON, and DOCX-ready text.
Limits to know
Some Facebook sources cannot be processed, even when the link looks valid.
- Private groups, login-gated posts, and non-public account content are not supported for transcript creation.
- Removed videos, region-blocked posts, or sources that are temporarily unavailable may fail during processing.
- If a Facebook link does not work, use another reachable public link or upload an audio or video file you already have permission to use.

Useful details for Facebook transcript work
These details answer common questions from teams working with Facebook videos and Reels.
- Works for public Facebook videos and Reels
- You can use a single public link when you need one Facebook reel transcript or one longer video transcript. If you have more to process, you can also start with multiple links or a supported public collection.
- Exports support subtitle and writing workflows
- If you need Facebook video to text for editing, research, or republishing, plain text exports are available. If you need subtitles, you can export timestamped files such as SRT or VTT after reviewing the transcript.
- Transcript text can feed follow-up content
- After you transcribe Facebook video content, the text can be used for summaries, captions, rewrites, SEO briefs, or content analysis. That helps teams reuse spoken material without copying lines manually from the video.
What to check before you start
A few page-specific details matter when you want to transcribe Facebook video content.
Watch for visibility and region limits
Some Facebook posts are restricted by country, age, or account visibility settings. If the video is region-blocked, removed, or otherwise unavailable, the transcript may not be created.
Review the transcript before export
Once transcript text is produced, you can read through it with timestamps and make edits. That gives you a chance to clean up names, phrasing, or formatting before downloading subtitles or text files.
