X (Twitter) Video Transcript – Tweets to Text, AI

TubeText · Transcripts · Pay per result. No login. Ready for AI agents. All tools

Quick start (no coding)

1. Click Try for free at the top of this page. A free Apify account is enough – it includes monthly credit.
2. In X/Twitter video links, paste one post link per line (x.com/<user>/status/…) – the post must contain a video.
3. Click Start. A 3-minute video takes about 25 seconds.
4. When it says Succeeded, open the Output tab and click Export → Excel (or CSV). One row per post: the transcript column has the text; author, views, likes and date are included.

Cost: $0.004 per minute of speech – 50 two-minute posts ≈ $0.40. Music-only and failed posts are free.

Common mistakes

• Pasting a profile or search link → paste post links, or chain an X scraper's dataset with Or: dataset with links.
• A post came back skipped → it has no video (free); protected or deleted posts are free too.

FAQ

Which links work? Public X/Twitter posts that contain a video: x.com/<user>/status/<id> or twitter.com/<user>/status/<id>. Posts without a video come back as skipped (free); protected accounts and deleted posts are free too. Links from other sites get a free row pointing to Podcast & Video Transcript.

Can I transcribe a whole account or a search? Run an X/Twitter scraper first, then pass its run's dataset in Or: dataset with links; Sort dataset by views takes the most-viewed video posts first.

How accurate is the transcript? It is Whisper speech recognition (large-v3), and the language is detected automatically. Clear speech comes out well; names, jargon and noisy audio can be misheard. Check important quotes against the source.

Do I need an account, cookies or an API key for the site? No. Only public, logged-out pages and media are used.
