Why You Need a Facebook Video Transcript
Facebook is where a lot of long video lives: live replays, sermons, town halls, webinars and local news. Most of it is watched on mute in the feed, and none of it can be searched. A Facebook video transcript turns an hour of talking into text you can skim, quote and share, whether you paste the link or upload the file. These are the problems people bring to EzTranscriber most often.
- Live replays that run for an hour or more
- Sermons, town halls and webinars that nobody can search
- Ads and posts you need to quote word for word
- Videos watched on mute with no captions
- Pages and groups that post in other languages
What You Get With the EzTranscriber Facebook Transcript Generator
From Facebook to transcript in a few minutes, with speakers, timing and exports, from the link or from the file.
Paste a Link or Upload
Paste the link of a public Facebook video, or upload the video you downloaded from your own page. Both paths give the same transcript.
Speaker Labels
Panels, interviews and live Q and A sessions are split by voice. Rename Speaker 1 once and every export uses the real name.
Timestamps on Every Line
Every sentence keeps its start time, so the announcement at minute 42 of a live replay is one search away.
Captions and Documents
Export SRT or VTT to caption your own videos, or TXT, DOCX and PDF to share minutes, notes and quotes.
99 Languages and Translation
The spoken language is detected automatically, and the text can be translated into 35+ languages for members who read another one.
AI Summary and Chapters
Turn an hour long live replay into a summary, key points or chapters with clickable times. AI Summary runs on your credits, like translation.
How to Get a Facebook Video Transcript in Three Steps
This is how to get a transcript of a Facebook video on a phone or a computer, with nothing to install.
- 1
Copy the link or download the video
On a Facebook video, tap Share and then Copy link, or copy the address from your browser. Public videos from pages and profiles work best. For your own page or anything private, download the video to your device first.
- 2
Paste or upload, then transcribe
Sign in, paste the link into the Facebook tab or upload the file, leave the language on Auto and start. Switch on speaker labels for panels and live Q and A. Long replays take a few minutes, and you can close the tab while they run.
- 3
Read, translate or export
Search the text, rename speakers, translate it or open AI Summary. Then copy it or download TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT or VTT. Every transcript stays in your history.
Four Features Built for Facebook Transcription
From a 30 second ad to a two hour live replay, one Facebook video transcript generator for both.
Transcribe Facebook Video From the Link or the File
Paste the URL and EzTranscriber works as a Facebook video transcript extractor: the audio of a public video is fetched for transcription and the words come back with timestamps. People often search for an online URL Facebook video transcript downloader; here you download the transcript, never the video. Some videos cannot be fetched, for example from private groups or profiles, or when Facebook asks visitors to log in. Then download the video from your page and upload it to get the same result. Saved files also work in video to text.
Paste a Facebook LinkLong Live Replays, Searchable
Churches, councils, schools and creators stream for an hour or more, and the replay is impossible to skim. Transcribe Facebook video replays and every sentence gets a timestamp: search for a name, jump to the announcement, copy the prayer list or the agenda item. AI Summary can turn the replay into chapters with clickable times and a short recap for the members who missed it. For recorded calls, see meeting transcription.
Transcribe a Live ReplayA Facebook Script Extractor for Ads and Posts
Marketers study the words that sell: the hook, the offer and the call to action. Use EzTranscriber as a Facebook script extractor for public video ads and posts, collect the scripts as text and compare them side by side. Every FB transcript keeps its timestamps, so you can quote the exact line and time in a report or a brief.
Extract a ScriptTranslate Videos From Any Page or Group
Community pages and news outlets post in every language. Transcribe the video in its own language, then translate it into English or 35+ other languages and read both side by side. Spanish videos have the Spanish to English audio translator, Arabic ones Arabic speech to text, Hindi ones Hindi speech to text, and the audio translator covers every other pair.

Our Sunday service streams on Facebook. I paste the replay link on Monday and the newsletter team has the full sermon in text by lunch.
Grace Mitchell

The council meets live on our page. The FB transcript with timestamps became our public record, and residents can search it.

I collect the scripts of the best performing video ads every week. Having them as text makes the patterns jump out.
Sofia Rossi

One link would not load because the group was private, so I uploaded the video from my own page instead. Same transcript, speakers and all.

Facebook Video Transcript FAQs
Quick answers about turning Facebook videos into text with EzTranscriber.
How to get transcript of Facebook video?
Copy the link of a public video, paste it into the Facebook tab at the top of this page and start, or upload the saved file. A few minutes later the Facebook video transcript appears with speakers and timestamps, ready to copy or download.
Is there a free Facebook transcript generator?
You can start free. New accounts get free credits, so the Facebook video transcript generator free trial covers your first videos: a Facebook transcript generator free of charge, and Facebook video to text transcription free while the credits last. If you wanted a free online Facebook video transcribe tool, this is the closest: sign up once and transcribe. Plans and credit packs are on the pricing page.
Do I need an account?
Yes. Transcription runs on paid AI models, so you sign in to use your free credits and to keep every transcript in your history. Signing up is free.
Which Facebook links work?
Links to public videos on pages and profiles. Videos from private groups, private profiles or anything behind a login cannot be fetched. Download the video from your own page and upload it to get the same transcript.
Can I transcribe a Facebook Live?
Yes, once it has ended and the replay is public. Paste the replay link, or upload the downloaded file, which is the way to go for replays longer than 60 minutes, the limit for links. A live stream that is still running cannot be transcribed yet.
Can I transcribe an FB video from a Messenger chat?
Only by uploading it. Videos sent in chats are private, so save the video to your device first, then upload it here to transcribe the FB video like any other file.
Can I get captions for my Facebook videos?
Yes. Export SRT or VTT and every caption keeps its timing, ready to upload with your video. For line length control, open audio to SRT.
Can I translate a Facebook video?
Yes. After you transcribe Facebook video to text, pick a language in the translate menu and read the translation next to the original. You can export it as SRT subtitles too.
Which languages are supported?
Speech in 99 languages, detected automatically, and you can set the language yourself if a video starts with music. The text can be translated into 35+ languages.
How are credits charged for a link?
By the length of the video, one credit per minute. A link is charged its real length once the transcript is ready, and starting one needs credits for at least 10 minutes in your balance. Links work for videos up to 60 minutes; a longer one stops without a charge, so upload the file for long replays.
Can I download the Facebook video itself?
No. EzTranscriber turns a Facebook video to transcript text and never hands out the video file.
Are my links and transcripts private?
Yes. The video is only fetched or uploaded to make your transcript, the result is saved to your own history and never published, and you can delete it at any time.
