Free Facebook Video Transcript Generator
Paste a public Facebook or Watch video link and get clean, timestamped text in seconds. Copy it, search it, or download TXT and SRT — no sign-up.
From link to transcript in three steps
Copy the video link
On any public Facebook or Watch video, copy the link and paste it into the box above.
Generate the transcript
We read the video's native captions and format them with timestamps. When there are none, the ScriptBase API transcribes the audio with AI.
Copy, search, or download
Reuse the script, search a phrase, or export TXT or SRT.
Supported formats
Plain text (.txt) · SubRip subtitles (.srt)
100+ languages
Facebook videos may carry captions in several languages. The ScriptBase API transcribes 100+ languages with AI when no caption track is present.
AI fallback
This free tool reads native captions only. For Facebook videos without them, the ScriptBase API adds AI transcription (Deepgram/Whisper-grade) so live cuts and uploads still come back as text.
