Paste a reel's link and get the full transcript in seconds, even when it has no captions. No signup, no card. Copy it, download it, or turn it into posts.
Paste the link. Any public reel works: instagram.com/reel/, /p/, and links copied from the app's share sheet.
Get the transcript. We transcribe the reel's audio server-side, so it works even for reels with no captions.
Use it anywhere. Copy it, download it as a .txt file, chat with it in Eden, or email it to yourself with five post ideas.
Every reel that stops the scroll was written first, even when it looks off the cuff. The transcript shows you the hook, the pacing, and the payoff in a form you can actually study. Creators use this to break down what's working in their niche, to repurpose their own reels into X and LinkedIn posts, and to feed reels into an AI assistant that can read but can't watch.
It also transcribes YouTube videos, so one tool covers the three platforms short-form ideas come from.
Paste the reel's link into the box above and click Get transcript. The full transcript appears in seconds, ready to read, copy, or download as a text file. Any instagram.com/reel/ or instagram.com/p/ link works, including links copied from the app's share sheet.
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no watermark. There's a fair-use limit per connection so bots can't hammer it, but a person using it normally will never hit it.
Usually, yes. The transcription comes from the reel's audio, not from on-screen captions, so a reel with clear speech transcribes even when the creator never added captions. Reels with no speech (music only) have nothing to transcribe, and very long videos can exceed the transcription limit.
Yes, any public reel. Creators use this to study how top accounts in their niche script their hooks, and to repurpose their own reels into text posts and newsletters.
Because text is reusable. A 60-second reel script becomes an X post, a LinkedIn post, or a newsletter section. It's also the fastest way to study a competitor's hook structure, and the only way to hand a reel to an AI assistant, which can read but can't watch.
Save any reel to Eden and the transcript comes attached. Highlight the best lines, ask the AI for post drafts in your voice, and schedule them to X, LinkedIn, Threads, Instagram, TikTok, and Substack from one queue.
