FAQ
Can I get a transcript of a TikTok without captions?
Yes. HotCopy transcribes the audio, so captions are not required. Videos that only contain music will not produce useful text.
Does it work with private TikToks?
No. Only public videos can be processed. Only transcribe content you own or have permission to use.
Is it free?
New accounts get a one-time free allowance of transcription minutes; after that, TikTok transcription uses paid transcription minutes.
Which languages are supported?
Transcription works for common spoken languages, and the transcript can be translated into 188 languages.
