Instagram Reel transcript
Paste a Reel link and we fetch its captions when Instagram has them. No captions? Save the Reel and drop it here: the speech model transcribes it on your own computer.
Runs on your device. The speech model (OpenAI Whisper) downloads once, then works offline.
Transcript only. Add the video file to preview captions and export clips. It stays on your device.
Caption style and frame
Safe-area shading is approximate: TikTok, Reels and Shorts move their buttons now and then.
Clip none
Click a line to start the clip there, then Shift-click (or long-press) the last line. Nudge the ends below.
Exports at the frame and caption style above. No watermark.

Shift timing
Two-point sync
For drift. Enter when an early line and a late line should appear (m:ss.s).

Breaks are suggested where the speaker pauses and a sentence ends. Rewrite the titles, then copy the list into your video description.

Questions
Does every Reel work from a link?
Only Reels that have captions can be read from a link. For the rest, save the Reel (for your own: ⋯ then Download) and drop the file here; it is transcribed on your device.
Can I add captions to a Reel?
Yes. Load the transcript, add the video file, choose a caption style and export a 9:16 MP4 with the captions burned in.
