Can I get the transcript of a private Instagram video?

Not from a link. Link-based tools can only reach public posts. If the video is yours, download it from your own account and upload the file instead — that works regardless of your privacy settings.

Does the Reel need captions for this to work?

No. The transcript is generated from the audio track by speech recognition, so it works on videos that never had captions in the first place.

Yes. There's a daily limit per IP to keep the service usable for everyone, and no sign-up is required. For a handful of videos a day you'll never notice the cap.

Can I get timestamps, not just plain text?

Yes. Export the transcript as SRT or VTT and each line comes with start and end times — useful for subtitles, video editing, or jumping to a specific moment.

What languages are supported?

EzTranscript uses Whisper large-v3-turbo, which supports 90+ languages with automatic detection. No need to specify the language before transcribing.
