Yes. The free plan includes 5 transcripts and 5 translations per day at no cost. Unlimited transcripts, bulk processing, AI agents, and HD downloads are available on paid plans from $39 per year.

Accuracy depends on the audio quality of the original video. Here is what to expect:

Clear spoken audio, minimal background noise: typically 95%+ word accuracy. Ready for captions, scripts, and publishing with minimal editing.
Moderate background noise or music overlay: typically 85-92% accuracy. Suitable for research and reference use. Light editing recommended before publishing.
Heavy music, multiple overlapping voices, or low recording quality: typically 70-80% accuracy. Best for content research and draft scripting. Editing required before any public-facing use. Transcripts from Reels with clear, direct-to-camera speech consistently require the least correction.

No. TokScript only processes publicly viewable Instagram Reels. Content from private accounts is inaccessible to outside systems. The Reel must be public for the tool to work.

If a Reel contains only music, ambient sound, or visual content with no spoken words, there is nothing to transcribe. TokScript extracts spoken language only, not instrumental audio or sound effects.

Yes, on paid plans only. Paste up to 50 Reel links in one batch. TokScript processes all links simultaneously and exports every transcript together or individually. This feature is not available on the free plan.

TXT: plain text, compatible with any editor
XML: structured data, useful for developers and integrations
PDF: formatted document, ready to share or file. You can also copy any transcript to your clipboard directly from the dashboard.

TokScript supports translation into 11 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, French, Hindi, Arabic, German, Japanese, Korean, and Russian. Select your target language before scanning, or translate an existing transcript afterward.

Yes. Copy or download any transcript from TokScript and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI platform for scripting, ideation, summarization, or strategy. TokScript's built-in AI agents handle the most common creator workflows: hooks, script rewrites, and performance analysis, without leaving the platform.

Yes. Any publicly viewable Reel, including paid promotions, can be transcribed. Media buyers use TokScript to extract hook structures, offer framing, and CTAs from high-converting ads for competitive research and faster campaign development.
