Transcribe X (Twitter) Videos to Text

Paste the link to a public video on X (Twitter) and get a timestamped transcript in minutes. Edit it in your browser, ask the AI assistant about it, and export it. The free plan includes 120 minutes every week.

Transcribe Twitter Video

Paste a Twitter URL to start

Free plan: 120 minutes every week. No need to download the video first.

Copy the post link, get the text

On X, open the post, tap the share icon and choose Copy link; on the web you can also copy the address from the browser bar. Both x.com and twitter.com links work. Paste the link and Hear2Text fetches the video itself, so you do not have to download it first. You get the spoken words as text with a timestamp on every segment.

What works, and what does not

Link fetching covers public video posts on X, one video per link. Protected accounts, Spaces and posts that need a login cannot be fetched; if the video is yours, upload the file instead, any common format up to 500 MB and 6 hours. Accuracy depends on the audio more than on X: a presenter at a microphone comes out cleaner than a phone clip at a loud event, where music and crosstalk cause mistakes you should fix in the editor.

Start Transcribing

Videos in any of 100 languages

You never pick a language: Hear2Text detects it automatically from 100 languages, so a video in Spanish, Japanese or Arabic is transcribed in that language. On the paid plans you can then translate the transcript with AI; SRT and VTT captions export in the spoken language. Check names and slang in the translation before you quote it.

Start Transcribing

Ask questions about the video

Once an X video is transcribed, ask the AI assistant about it in plain words: what the speaker claimed, where a topic came up, or how the argument was built. It answers from the transcript, so you can check every answer against the timestamp. The assistant is part of the paid plans.

  • Summarize a long video in a few lines
  • Pull out quotes with their timestamps
  • Read the tone of what was said
  • List the people, brands and topics named out loud

How to transcribe an X video

From a post link to an editable transcript, in four steps.

  1. Step 01

    Copy the post link

    Open the post on X, tap share and choose Copy link, then paste it above. The post must be public.

  2. Step 02

    Let it transcribe

    Hear2Text fetches the video, detects the language on its own and writes the transcript, usually within minutes.

  3. Step 03

    Review and edit

    Read along with the timestamps and fix names, handles or slang the AI misheard.

  4. Step 04

    Export the text

    Download TXT on the free plan, or SRT, VTT, Word and PDF on a paid plan.

Who uses it

Anyone who needs to quote, search or reuse what someone said in a video on X.

  • Journalists and News Analysts

    A reporter transcribes a politician's video statement on X, pulls the quotes with timestamps and checks each one against the clip before filing.

  • Social Media Managers

    A social media manager turns the brand's own X video into captions, a blog recap and quote cards, starting from the transcript.

  • Newsletter Writers

    A newsletter writer transcribes the X videos they want to cite, so they can quote the speaker accurately and find each line again by its timestamp.

  • Researchers and Academics

    A researcher studying public discourse transcribes a set of public X videos one link at a time and codes the text instead of rewatching every clip.

What you get

  1. Public X Videos, Not Spaces

    Any public video post on X can be transcribed from its link. Spaces and videos from protected accounts are not supported.

  2. AI Summaries

    On the paid plans, AI summaries turn a long video into a short overview, and the assistant answers questions about any transcript.

  3. Keep the Words of a Post

    Paste the link to an X video and keep what was said as text, with a timestamp on every segment.

  4. Speaker Labels

    Speakers are labelled Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on, on every plan, which helps with panels, interviews and debates clipped to X.

  5. Free Every Week

    Transcribe up to 120 minutes every week on the free plan and export TXT. Paid plans are unlimited within fair use and add SRT, VTT, Word and PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I transcribe an X (Twitter) video?
Copy the post link and paste it. Open the post on X, tap the share icon and choose Copy link, then paste it into Hear2Text and press Transcribe. The post must be public and hold one video. You need a free account, which gives you 120 minutes of transcription every week with no credit card, and the transcript is ready in minutes.
Can I transcribe Twitter Spaces?
No, X Spaces are not supported, live or recorded. Hear2Text only fetches public video posts on X. If you hosted the Space and downloaded its recording, or captured the audio with a recorder you are allowed to use, upload that file and it is transcribed like any other recording, up to 6 hours long and 500 MB in size.
Do I lose the transcript if the post is deleted?
No, deleting the post does not remove a transcript you already made. Once the video is transcribed, the text stays in your Hear2Text account and you can edit and export it later. A link to a post that was already deleted, or made private, cannot be fetched, so transcribe videos you need to keep while they are still public.
Can I transcribe videos from a protected X account?
No. Posts from protected X accounts can only be seen by approved followers, so Hear2Text cannot fetch them from a link. If you have the right to use the video, for example it is your own, save the original file to your device and upload it instead. Uploads work with any common audio or video format up to 500 MB and 6 hours.
How accurate is transcription of X videos?
Very accurate when the speech is clear: up to 99%, and usually 95 to 99% for one person talking into a decent microphone. Background music, crowd noise, people talking over each other and heavy accents lower it, and clips filmed from a distance suffer most. You can correct any word in the browser editor before exporting.
Can I translate an X video into another language?
Yes, on the paid plans. Hear2Text first transcribes the video in its original language, detected automatically from 100 languages, and then translates the transcript with AI. Translation, AI summaries and the SRT, VTT, Word and PDF exports come with the $9.99 monthly or $89.99 yearly plan. The free plan transcribes and exports TXT.
