IG Transcript - Convert public Instagram Reels and videos into timestamped, searchable transcripts

Core Features

IG Transcript provides a focused set of functions for working with audio from public Instagram video content, no Instagram account login required.

• Generates transcripts directly from video audio, no existing embedded captions are needed

• Aligns every transcribed segment with start and end timestamps

• Full transcript search to locate specific phrases, names, or claims quickly

• Export options for plain TXT, SRT subtitle, and VTT subtitle file formats

• Automatic language detection, plus optional manual language selection before processing

• No permanent public hosting of the original submitted media

Step-by-Step Workflow

The platform uses a 3-step process that requires no software downloads or extensions:

1. Paste a valid public Instagram Reel or video post link. Links to private accounts and unsupported content are rejected before any processing starts.

2. The submitted audio is normalized for speech recognition and converted into timestamped text segments.

3. Review the generated transcript, search for specific lines, copy the full text directly, or download the file in your chosen format.

Intended Use Cases

This tool is built for common practical tasks involving public Instagram video content:

• Content creators repurposing spoken lines from Reels for captions, blog posts, or marketing copy

• Researchers collecting quotes and statements from public creator or brand video posts

• Journalists fact-checking specific claims made in public Instagram video content

• Users who want to archive and organize key takeaways from long-form Instagram video posts

Privacy and Data Retention Rules

The service operates with strict data limits for all submitted content:

• Only public, user-submitted Instagram links are processed. The tool cannot bypass private account access controls or login walls.

• Processed transcripts from unauthenticated sessions expire automatically within 24 hours.

• Transcripts saved to logged-in accounts expire within 7 days.

• All users can manually delete their generated transcripts before the scheduled expiration date.

• The platform never presents original Instagram media as a permanent public download.

Important Limitations

Transcription accuracy is not guaranteed for all content. Output quality depends on original audio clarity, presence of background music, speaker accents, and sections of overlapping speech. IG Transcript is an independent service, and it is not affiliated, sponsored, or endorsed by Instagram or Meta.
