TikTok to Text from a Saved Video

Use a saved file here, not a TikTok link

To turn a TikTok video to text with this page, select a local MP4, WebM, or MOV file that you own or are allowed to process. The result is English spoken-word text with optional timestamps, ready to copy or download as TXT. A TikTok URL, private post, or account login is not supported.

A quick input and privacy decision card

• You have a saved clip: choose it directly from this device. Use only content you own or have permission to process.
• You only have a post URL: this page will not fetch it. Do not paste a private link or account credentials; use a source file you are authorized to use instead.
• The file is ready: it must be MP4, WebM, or MOV, no larger than 25 MB, no longer than 60 seconds, and contain English speech.
• You need a fully offline workflow: this is not one. The selected video is processed in the browser and is not uploaded to this site's server, but the browser loads the transcription package/model from remote model hosts. A first run or restricted network may need those hosts to be reachable.

“Processed in the browser” describes where the selected clip is handled; it does not mean the page is air-gapped. If your device or network policy forbids loading the model, stop rather than entering sensitive material into another service.

If TikTok to text does not work, identify the input first

• It is a URL, not a fileThis tool only reads a video selected from your device; it does not download or retrieve posts.
• The file is rejectedCheck the actual file type, size, and duration against the limits above. Renaming an unsupported file extension does not convert the video.
• The transcript is empty or incompleteCheck that the clip contains audible English speech. Music-only sections, overlapping voices, or cut-off speech may not yield a complete transcript.
• The words look wrongKeep timestamps on, replay the matching audio, and verify names, numbers, and short words before reusing the text. Do not fill unclear gaps by guessing.

What this local TikTok-to-text workflow returns

• One local MP4, WebM, or MOV file at a time.
• English speech, up to 25 MB and 60 seconds.
• Copyable transcript text with optional timestamps and a TXT download.
• No TikTok URL retrieval, private-account access, on-screen text recognition, or SRT/VTT export.

A transcript is a text aid, not permission to repost another creator's speech, music, or video.
