Transcript
0:00 Hi, my name is Ava. You may know me as a 19-year-old who built a 7 million dollar company, or the psychopath who gets up at 2 a.m.
0:11 I grew up right outside of Milwaukee in Wisconsin. As a child, I was an abomination.
0:24 At 14 years old, I started dating this muscular hottie named Matt.
0:28 We read a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad, which led us to starting a real estate investing company at age 15.
0:38 I noticed all these business owners building big personal brands on social media.
0:45 In the first month, I got 50,000 followers and fell in love with social media marketing.
Main idea
Ava shares how she moved from teenage real estate investing to building a personal brand company through short-form content.

What is an Instagram transcript?
An Instagram transcript is the spoken text of a Reel or video post — every word your audience hears, written out so you can caption, brief, research, or repurpose without rewatching.
GetTranscribe turns that audio into editable text, SRT files, and timestamped segments, then connects the message to on-screen text and key frames for UGC and brand workflows.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers for the searches people actually type before they transcribe a video.
Can I extract the script from an Instagram Reel?
Yes. GetTranscribe works as an Instagram script extractor and Instagram Reel script extractor: paste a public Reel URL to pull the spoken script as text with timestamps. From there you can rewrite it, brief creators, or use it as an Instagram video script generator starting point.
Does it work with Stories?
Yes, when the Story is a public video with audible speech. Private Stories or image-only Stories cannot be transcribed because our systems cannot access them.
Can I export subtitles?
Yes. You can download an SRT file for captions, copy plain text, or use a timestamped transcript view depending on your workflow and editor.
Does it work on private videos?
No. We only process publicly reachable Instagram URLs. Private accounts, restricted posts, or content that requires a login you have not authorized cannot be transcribed.
What can I do after I get the transcript?
Export TXT or SRT, then analyze on-screen text, key frames, hooks, and product mentions. Draft captions, carousels, or UGC briefs — or move into full video analysis and library search.
Can I use it on mobile?
Yes. The iOS app is live — share a Reel or video post straight into GetTranscribe. Android is on the waitlist. You can also paste the link in the mobile web experience.
How much does it cost?
Try without an account first. Pay-as-you-go is $0.06 per minute. Free includes 2 lifetime video transcriptions. Pro is $9.99/mo. See pricing for the full breakdown.
