Transcribe reels in three steps
No screen-recording, no re-watching reels to find the one line you needed.
Paste a reel URL
Drop in a reel, post, or IGTV link. Add as many as you like into the same folder.
Get timestamped transcripts
TubeScribes transcribes the spoken audio and files each reel into a searchable folder.
Search, chat & export
Ask cited questions across reels, generate summaries, translate, and export everything to a ZIP.
Built for many reels, not just one clip
Single-clip caption tools stop at one reel. TubeScribes is designed for collecting many reels into a searchable, cited library.
Reel, post & IGTV import
Add Instagram reel, post, and IGTV links by URL — each one transcribed and filed into one searchable folder.
Collect reels into one folder
Group reels from a creator, competitor, or topic together so a single question searches across all of them.
Cited, timestamped chat
Ask questions across every reel; answers cite the exact source reel and timestamp they came from.
Summaries & 90+ language translation
Generate summaries and translate reel transcripts into 90+ languages without leaving the workspace.
Mixed-source library
Keep reels next to YouTube videos, podcasts, PDFs, and websites in the same searchable Library.
Export & a developer API
Download transcripts, summaries, and metadata as a ZIP, or pull them programmatically through the API.
Why transcribe Instagram reels
Reels are short, fast, and easy to lose. A creator can post dozens of reels packed with tips, hooks, and ideas, but the moment they scroll out of the feed they are effectively gone — there is no way to search them, quote them, or compare what was said across a stack of clips. Transcribing reels to text turns that ephemeral stream into a durable, searchable record you can actually work with.
TubeScribes treats Instagram as a first-class source. Paste an Instagram reel, post, or IGTV link and the spoken audio is transcribed into clean, timestamped text and filed into a folder. Add as many reels as you want into the same folder so a creator, competitor, or topic builds up into one searchable collection. Because reels share the same Library as your other sources, they sit right next to the YouTube videos, podcasts, PDFs, and websites you are already tracking.
Once a reel is text, it becomes useful in ways a video never is. Ask questions across a whole folder of reels and get answers that cite the source reel and timestamp, so you can trace a claim back to the moment it was made. Generate summaries to skim a backlog quickly, translate transcripts into more than 90 languages to follow creators in other markets, and export any folder as a ZIP of transcripts, summaries, and metadata — or pull the same data through the developer API — when the work needs to move into your own tools.
Marketers studying hooks that perform, researchers tracking how an idea spreads, agencies building swipe files, and creators repurposing their own reels into scripts and posts all run into the same wall: short-form video is impossible to search. TubeScribes removes that wall by keeping every transcript organized in persistent folders, so the work you do today is still findable months from now.
Frequently asked questions
How do I transcribe an Instagram reel?
Add the reel to TubeScribes and it transcribes the spoken audio into searchable, timestamped text, then files it into a folder you can chat with, summarize, translate, and export.
Can I transcribe several reels into one folder?
Yes. Add reels by URL and file them into the same Library folder, then ask questions across all of them at once. TubeScribes imports individual reel, post, and IGTV links rather than whole profiles.
Can I search and ask questions across many reels?
Yes. Folder chat lets you ask questions across every reel in a folder at once, and each answer cites the source reel and timestamp it came from.
Can I mix reels with other sources?
Yes. Reels can live in the same Library folder as YouTube videos, podcasts, PDFs, Word docs, plain text, and websites, so everything stays searchable together.
Can I export the reel transcripts?
Yes. Any folder can be exported to a ZIP containing the transcripts, summaries, and metadata, and the same data is available through the developer API.
