Check names, numbers and unclear words against the source audio. No speech timestamps are generated.
Want more than the spoken words?
Paid Karmo examines the hook, visual changes, pacing and structure, then creates an original script, shot list, caption and CTA for your audience. Plans start at $19/month. A new analysis and first script use 11 credits.
Analyze This Video with KarmoCopy the video link, then copy its words
- Choose Copy link on the TikTok you want to read.
- Paste the link into the form. Select Generate Transcript and wait for the actual audio to be processed.
- Copy the returned text. Listen again to any line where the voiceover competes with a sound or another speaker.
The result appears above as copyable text. Keep a quotation separate from your own notes, and check it against the audio before using it in a brief or a new script.
Which TikTok links work?
Full links such as tiktok.com/@creator/video/123… and public vm.tiktok.com or vt.tiktok.com share links are supported. Short links must resolve to a permitted TikTok video URL. Profile links, photo slideshows, livestreams and login-restricted content are not supported.
The free path accepts downloadable MP4 video with AAC audio, no longer than 30 seconds and no larger than 20 MB. A public video may still be blocked by region or unavailable for download. Karmo reports that limitation rather than bypassing it.
Speech extraction or a new TikTok script?
Free transcription gives you the audible words in their original language, with a copy button. It does not read silent on-screen captions, add timestamps, translate, or explain editing choices. Three requests per visitor are available in a rolling 24 hours. Failed attempts count, and network or service capacity limits can also apply.
Paid Karmo studies the opening, pauses, cuts and payoff together. Its TikTok script generator uses that analysis and your content profile to write a new hook, script, shot list, caption and CTA. You review and record the draft.
A new video analysis includes its transcript and first rewrite for 11 Karmo credits. Reading a saved transcript adds no charge. Each later script revision costs 1 credit. An active paid plan is required; failed processing is refunded. See current plans.
Why a TikTok transcript can be incomplete
A reused sound can be louder than the voiceover. A duet may contain overlapping voices. Fast cuts can interrupt a word. Check those passages against the video before treating them as quotations, especially for names, prices or instructions.
Music-only videos can have no spoken transcript. On-screen text is not a substitute for audible speech. If retrieval fails, check that the URL opens publicly and that the video meets the duration limit before trying another link.
TikTok transcript questions
Are these TikTok’s automatic captions?
No. Karmo transcribes the audio it can retrieve from the public video. Neither on-screen captions nor this transcript should be assumed correct without checking the audio.
Does copying or retrying cost another free request?
Copying is local to your browser. Retrying the same URL within your current 24-hour window reuses its request status. Cached results for a different URL still use a free request slot.
Can I use this free tool through ChatGPT?
The free form is available on this page. TikTok MCP is a separate paid workflow using your Karmo account and credits.
Can I upload a file instead?
This tool accepts public video links only. It does not offer local uploads or private-video access.
