Instagram rewards engagement, and most users scroll with sound off. That means captions are not optional — they are the difference between someone watching your Reel and swiping past it. Vocova transcribes your Instagram videos so you can add accurate captions, repurpose spoken content into carousel posts, and archive Stories before they disappear. Our AI separates speech from the trending audio and background music that Instagram videos are built around.
Open the Reel or video post, tap the three-dot menu, and select Copy link. Paste it into the field above.
Instagram videos layer speech over trending sounds, music, and effects. Our AI isolates the spoken content from the background audio and transcribes it.
Download SRT captions to burn into your next upload, or copy the transcript to turn a 60-second Reel into a carousel post or blog paragraph.
Instagram Reels are built on trending audio. A creator talks over a beat, a voiceover plays over a music track, or someone lip-syncs while adding commentary. Our AI isolates the speech from the background music and transcribes only what was actually said — not the song lyrics.
Reels are typically 15-90 seconds. The transcript is compact enough to paste directly into Instagram's caption field or split across carousel slides. No editing needed to cut a 2-hour transcript down to size.
Multi-person Reels, interview clips, and creator collaborations get speaker labels so you can tell who said what — useful when repurposing a guest appearance into a quote graphic or thread.
Instagram Stories vanish after 24 hours unless saved to Highlights. If you have a Story link or saved the video file, Vocova can transcribe it before the content disappears — preserving spoken content from Q&As, announcements, and behind-the-scenes clips.
Take the transcript from a 60-second Reel and break it into slides for a carousel. Carousel posts get higher save rates than Reels, and the content is already written — you just need to design the slides.
Instagram's auto-captions are unreliable, especially with background music. Export an SRT file from Vocova and burn accurate captions into your Reel before uploading. The 85% watching without sound will actually understand your content.
A week of Reels is enough raw material for a blog post or newsletter issue. Transcribe them all, then edit the text instead of starting from scratch.
Transcribe competitor Reels to analyze their hooks, CTAs, and messaging patterns in text form. Easier to compare and study than rewatching videos repeatedly.
Repurpose Reels into carousels, blog posts, and newsletter content. Add accurate captions without typing along to your own videos.
Transcribe client Reels for caption creation, content calendars, and cross-platform repurposing. Document content strategy across accounts.
Turn product demo Reels into detailed captions, FAQ content, and landing page copy. Every product video becomes reusable text.
Analyze influencer and competitor video content by converting Reels to searchable text. Compare messaging and hooks across campaigns.
Our AI separates speech from background audio. If a creator is talking over a trending sound or music track, the transcript will contain the spoken words, not the song lyrics. Accuracy is highest when the speech is clearly louder than the music. Lip-sync Reels with no original speech will produce minimal or no transcript.
If you have the Story link while it's still live, or if you already have an authorized local copy, yes. Paste the link or upload the file. Once a Story expires and isn't in Highlights, the link stops working, so transcribe promptly while you still have access.
After transcribing, copy the text and break it into 5-8 short points, one per slide. Each slide should be a standalone idea from the Reel. Add a hook on slide 1 and a CTA on the last slide. This is one of the highest-ROI content repurposing moves on Instagram.
No. Vocova can only access publicly available videos. For private-account content, upload a local file only if you own it, have permission to process it, or received it through an authorized platform export.
Accuracy depends on how much the effects obscure speech. Clean voiceovers over music transcribe well. Videos where speech competes with loud sound effects, audience noise, or distortion will have lower accuracy. For critical captions, review and edit the transcript before burning it in.
Yes, as long as the Reel is publicly accessible. Open it, tap the three-dot menu, copy the link, and paste it in. You'll get a full transcript for analysis, quoting, or reference.
