Frequently asked questions

Can I paste an Instagram link directly?+

Not yet. Instagram doesn't expose audio URLs publicly. Download the Instagram video (free tools like SaveFromNet or the Instagram app itself for your own videos), then upload the MP4 to Transcapt.

Are subtitles synced with the Reel?+

Yes. The SRT includes precise timestamps that match the original video audio. When you import in CapCut or your editor, subtitles appear exactly aligned.

How much does it cost to transcribe a Reel?+

A 60-second Reel costs ~$0.04 USD in our Popular pack. The 15 free minutes on signup give you ~15 Reels before paying.

Does Transcapt handle Reels with loud background music?+

Yes, but accuracy depends on audio balance. Very loud music can reduce accuracy on fast speech. For best results, ensure voice is distinguishable over music.

Can I transcribe expired Stories?+

Only if you have the saved file (Instagram lets you download your own Stories). Third-party Stories aren't accessible after expiration.

What format works best for publishing captions?+

SRT for burn-in via CapCut/Premiere. TXT if you want to paste text in the post description. Both included at no extra cost.
