Features

Why this beats screen-recording or guessing the words

Instagram Reels almost never come with a downloadable caption file, so most tools just fail. BibiGPT transcribes the audio with AI, so you always get accurate text — for any Reel or video post.

AI audio transcription — no caption file needed

Instagram doesn't expose a caption track to download, so BibiGPT listens to the audio and transcribes it with AI. You get a full transcript even when the Reel has zero on-screen captions.

SRT + TXT + Markdown export

SRT preserves timestamps so you can burn subtitles into a re-edit. TXT is plain text for paste-ready notes. Markdown is Obsidian / Notion friendly.

Reels and regular video posts both supported

instagram.com/reel/... and instagram.com/p/... URLs both work. Same flow, same export formats.

What you get on top of just the transcript

If you only need the raw transcript, that's one click. If you want more, BibiGPT layers translation, summary, and AI dialog without leaving the page.

One-click translate to 5 languages

Once the audio is transcribed, translate to Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, or Traditional Chinese — and download a bilingual SRT.

AI summary and mind map

Skip watching: get a structured summary plus visual mind map of the Reel's content. Great for research and content briefs.

Free for daily use

Free users get 3 extractions per day. Plus ($19.8/mo) raises to 50/day, Pro ($15/mo) is unlimited with batch API.

3 steps to finish

No signup needed for the free tier. Use the embedded tool above — your URL is processed in seconds.

  1. 1

    Paste Instagram URL

    Copy the share URL from the Instagram app or web. The widget supports instagram.com/reel/... and instagram.com/p/... link formats out of the box.

  2. 2

    Wait a few seconds

    Instagram videos rarely include a caption file, so BibiGPT transcribes the audio with AI — typically 5-15 seconds for a short Reel.

  3. 3

    Download or copy

    SRT (timestamps for re-burn), TXT (plain text), Markdown (Notion ready), or copy to clipboard.

3 typical scenarios

Built for content creators, language learners, and anyone who wants an Instagram video's text without watching.

Content creators — repurpose / re-dub

Pull the script from a viral Reel, repurpose it into captions, blog posts, or re-dub for TikTok / YouTube Shorts. Cuts hours of manual transcription per video.

Language learners — dual-language notes

Transcribe English Reels and paste into Anki / Notion. BibiGPT can auto-translate to Chinese / Japanese for side-by-side study notes.

Researchers — citation-grade transcripts

Export searchable transcripts of public Instagram video statements for citations or social listening. Timestamped SRT lets you reference specific moments.
