In short

For TikTok subtitles, the job begins with the download, and the download is the part that the platform decides. Nothing is lost on the way from the file to the text. One file may be up to 30 minutes, and the free plan is $0 with 3 files a day.

How it works

How to get TikTok subtitles

  1. 1

    Save the video

    Choose Save video in the share sheet, and the file lands in the gallery of the phone.

  2. 2

    Do not convert the file first

    The engine reads the file the way the platform made it: MP4, MP3, M4A, WAV and the other containers of the recorders.

  3. 3

    Fix the names in the editor

    A wrong name in the text is corrected in the editor. The correction moves no timestamp: the line keeps the moment it was said.

  4. 4

    Copy the part you need

    Every line of the text carries the moment it was said, so a quotation can be copied with its own timecode.

The result

What comes back from the engine

  • TXT

    One segment per line, the way a person wrote it down. It is the format to paste into a ticket, a chat or a document.

  • TXT, CSV

    The start and the end time of every segment, and the speakers named separately when you ask for it.

  • SRT, VTT

    SRT and VTT with the time of every line, so the recording can carry its own subtitles.

  • Markdown, DOCX

    The transcript is edited through the API and exported as Markdown for a wiki, or as DOCX for a review.

The case

What the recording does not give you

For TikTok subtitles, the work starts the moment somebody asks: where is that file, and where is its text? The minutes are written twice: once while people talk, and once a week later from a recording nobody wants to sit through. The engine takes the video from TikTok and gives back a text, and the text keeps the time of every part of it.

Tips

  • Turn on the split by speaker when more than two people talk in the video from TikTok.

  • Give the speakers of the video from TikTok their names in the editor, one time, and export again.

  • Send the audio track of the video from TikTok when the platform gives you both.

  • The audio of the video from TikTok is smaller than the video of the same call.

  • Export SRT when the video from TikTok has to become a subtitled video.
