instascript

InstaScript converts Instagram Reels and other video/audio recordings into readable English text with timestamps. Start by pasting a public Reel (or video post) URL or by uploading a local file, then review the transcript as it appears.

Transcription runs in your browser, so your uploaded media stays local. For public Reel links, a temporary media fetch is used, while the speech recognition itself runs locally. The first transcription may take longer because language detection and English speech models must be prepared.

Once complete, InstaScript gives you timestamped output you can edit cue-by-cue. You can copy your transcript or download it in multiple formats, including TXT and SRT (and VTT). If the media can’t be fetched or the speech cues aren’t complete with valid start/end timing, no subtitle export is created.

InstaScript supports MP4, WebM, MP3, and WAV files up to 100 MB. Only one transcription task runs at a time, and while processing the inputs are locked—canceling stops the active link lookup or media download. No account is required.

How do I transcribe an Instagram Reel with InstaScript?

Paste a public Instagram Reel (or video post) URL to generate an English, timestamped transcript, or upload a saved video/audio file. After transcription, edit the cues and export your text or subtitles.

Does InstaScript upload my video to a server?

Uploaded files are processed in your browser. For public Reel URLs, a temporary media fetch is used, but speech recognition still runs in your browser.

What file types and sizes can I upload?

You can upload MP4, WebM, MP3, or WAV files up to 100 MB.

Can InstaScript transcribe non-English audio?

Speech recognition supports English only. Detected non-English speech is rejected, and processing stops with a separate error without creating a transcript.

What can I export after transcription?

You can copy your transcript or download it as TXT and SRT, with VTT also available for subtitle workflows. Exports like SRT/VTT require non-empty speech cues with complete, valid start and end times.

Do I need an account to use InstaScript?

No signup is required—you can start transcription immediately and work with the results in your browser.
