How to transcribe an Instagram Reel

1. Copy the link

On the Reel, tap the paper plane (Share), then Copy link.

Reels to text in seconds

Instagram does not show a transcript for Reels, so the only way to get the words is to listen and type, or to transcribe the audio. This tool does the second: it downloads the Reel's audio and transcribes it with Whisper, in the language it is spoken.

Use it to repurpose a Reel into a caption, a carousel or a newsletter, to add subtitles, or to keep a searchable archive of your own content. For many Reels at once, use the Instagram Reels Transcript API.
