2. Paste the link here and get the transcript.
3. Copy the text or download it as a .txt file.

## Read fifty TikToks, not one

One transcript tells you what a video says. With Manifold connected, your agent pulls the transcripts of a creator's or a competitor's latest videos at once, with their views and shares, and tells you which hooks they open with, what they claim, and which ones took off.

| | Here | In your agent with Manifold |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Videos | One link at a time | A whole TikTok account, or a search |
| What you get | The words, as text | Hooks, claims and calls to action, compared |
| Numbers | None | Views, likes and shares beside each video |
| Price | Free | 1 credit a transcript |

## Questions

### How do I get the transcript of a TikTok?

Copy the video's link from Share, then Copy link, and paste it above. The transcript comes back as plain text in a few seconds, to copy or download.

### Why is there no transcript for my video?

The tool reads the transcript TikTok keeps for a video, so a video with no speech, or one TikTok never captioned, has none. Private videos cannot be read. In your agent, Manifold can transcribe the audio itself for videos up to two minutes.

### Does it work for any language?

It returns the transcript in the language TikTok holds for the video, and shows which language that is.

### Is the TikTok transcript generator free?

Yes. You get 15 transcripts a day here, with no signup. For more, connect Manifold to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor: the free plan gives your agent 250 credits every month, with no card.
