Transcribe audio from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts videos in seconds. Extract accurate subtitles, captions, and spoken text from public videos at scale. Ideal for content analysis, research, SEO, lead generation, monitoring, and AI workflows.
🛠️ Fixed impersonation — the Chrome TLS anti-bot bypass was silently disabled (yt-dlp needs an ImpersonateTarget object, not the raw "chrome" string). Now active, cutting TikTok/Instagram/Facebook block rates.
🔄 Always-fresh extractors — the build now ships the yt-dlp nightly channel, fixing the recurring "Unable to extract webpage video data" caused by frozen/stale extractors.
⚡ Faster default run — set a 4 GB memory floor (more CPU) and trimmed the default example to short clips so the automated daily test reliably finishes within Apify's 5-minute window (the main cause of the actor flipping to "under maintenance").
🔧 Loosened curl_cffi pin so newer Chrome impersonation profiles are available.
