Short answer
Paste the X post URL into the Video Transcript Scraper. It finds the video in the post, runs speech-to-text, and returns the text with timestamps. The same run can mix TikTok, Instagram and YouTube links.
A real use case
A journalist needs exact quotes from 15 video clips posted during a press event. They paste the 15 post URLs and get timestamped transcripts to quote from.
Step by step
- Copy the post link from X.
- Paste it into Video URLs (mix platforms freely).
- Run and copy the
transcriptfield.
Input (paste into the JSON tab)
{
"urls": [
"https://x.com/someaccount/status/1585341984679469056"
],
"speechToText": "fallback",
"includeSegments": true
}What you get back
{
"platform": "x",
"authorName": "Some Account",
"transcript": "We are announcing three changes today...",
"transcriptSource": "speech-to-text",
"durationSec": 94,
"wordCount": 241
}Trimmed example. Names and numbers are illustrative; your run returns real data with more fields.
