Extract the full transcript from any TikTok
Sometimes you don't need a whole library. You need one transcript, right now, because you're writing a blog post, building a case study, or fact-checking a claim. Sftir gives you the fastest path from 'I need the words out of this TikTok' to a clean, copyable document.
How sftir helps
URL in, transcript out
Paste the TikTok URL into Sftir. In about 30 seconds, the transcript is ready — with punctuation, paragraph breaks, and clickable timestamps.
Export to any format you need
Copy as plain text, export as JSON with timestamps, or pull via API into your own tooling. Transcripts aren't locked into the interface.
Batch-friendly via API
Have 50 TikToks to transcribe for a research project? Every Sftir plan includes API keys — build a simple script, hand Sftir URLs, get back transcripts.
How it works
Paste the URL
Drop the TikTok link into the Sftir web app. No account setup required to try it on the free tier.
Sftir transcribes automatically
Gemini's speech-to-text processes the audio. Paragraphs are formatted, timestamps are anchored, topic tags are applied.
Copy, export, or consume via API
The transcript view has one-click copy. JSON export is one more click. API returns the same data programmatically.
For the content marketer
Kai runs content for a B2B SaaS. A VC posted a viral TikTok about pricing strategy that his CEO wants to reference in a blog post. Kai pastes the URL into Sftir, grabs the transcript, and has verbatim quotes with timestamps linked back to the original — a 90-second task.
Frequently asked questions
Can I transcribe TikToks I don't own?
Yes. You're extracting a transcript of a publicly-posted video for your own reference or reporting. Sftir doesn't republish the video or the transcript unless you choose to share it.
Is there an API specifically for transcription?
Yes. Every plan comes with API keys. The API supports submitting a URL and retrieving the full transcript, summary, key moments, and topic tags.
How do I cite a TikTok transcript?
Standard practice is to cite the creator's handle and the original TikTok URL. Sftir preserves both as metadata, so you don't have to recover them separately.
Can I get just the transcript, without the summary or tags?
You can export only the transcript field from the UI or API response. Sftir generates everything in one pass — including the extras adds no time or cost.
