Three things I wish I knew before my first cut.
One: you don't need to drop carbs. Drop the extras.
Two: walk ten thousand steps before you add cardio.
Three: weigh in every day, but only trust the weekly average.
Save this for Monday.
Ask next: “What's the hook, and why does it work?”

That's an example. Create a free account and read yours for real; it works on anything public.

Short answer

How do I get a transcript of a TikTok?

TikTok has no transcript button. Its auto-captions show only while a video plays in the app, and you can't copy them. Paste the video's link into ChatGPT or Claude with Puley connected and you get the full transcript with timestamps, ready to copy or ask about.

How to

Two ways to get a TikTok transcript

The free way works. The Puley way is one message, on any device, and you can ask about the result.

In the TikTok app

Free, but you can't copy anything

  1. Open the video in the TikTok app on your phone.
  2. Tap CC on the right-hand side to turn on captions, if the video has them.
  3. Read along as it plays. There's no transcript view, and you can't copy or export the captions.

With Puley

In ChatGPT or Claude

  1. In TikTok, tap Share, then Copy link.
  2. Paste the link into ChatGPT or Claude and ask: “Get me the transcript of this TikTok.”
  3. Copy the transcript, or ask: “What's the hook?”, “Rewrite this as a caption”, “Translate it.”

Questions

TikTok transcripts: questions

Does TikTok have a transcript feature?

No. TikTok can show auto-generated captions while a video plays (tap CC in the app), but there's no transcript view and you can't copy the captions.

Can I get a transcript of a TikTok without captions?

Yes. If a video has no captions, Puley transcribes the audio. A video with only music has no words to transcribe.

Does it work on private videos?

No. Puley reads public videos only, the ones anyone can watch without following the creator.

Can I get transcripts for a whole account?

Yes. Ask for an account's latest videos and you get each transcript, so you can compare hooks across them.

Does it work for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts?

Yes. Paste a Reel or a Short the same way.

Is it free?

Yes, to start. Videos with captions are free at any length, and the free plan transcribes videos without captions up to 10 minutes each, which covers almost every TikTok.
