How to Get a Transcript From an X (Twitter) Video
TJBy The JotVox Team · Aug 9, 2026 · 3 min read
Videos on X (formerly Twitter) almost never carry a caption file, so copying captions isn't an option. JotVox transcribes the audio of an X video into text you can quote, thread or repurpose.
Steps
1. Open the post and copy its link (the URL that ends in /status/…). 2. Paste it into JotVox. 3. Turn on AI transcription if prompted, then read or export the timestamped transcript.
Good for
- Quoting a viral clip accurately in a thread or article.
- Fact-checking what was actually said in a political or news video.
- Turning a talking-head clip into a written post.
Try it now: paste any video link into JotVox — grabbing captions is free, and every verified account gets 3 free credits plus a free AI transcription every day.
JotVox also handles Reddit, Facebook and LinkedIn videos the same way.
