Paste a public Instagram reel link and get the spoken words back as text you can copy — with timestamps if you want them. Free, no account, and it works on anyone's reel, not just your own.
Open the reel, tap share, and copy the link. A link straight from the address bar works too — extra tracking parameters on the end are ignored.
The spoken words come back as text in a few seconds. Switch between plain text and timestamped view depending on whether you are reading it or citing it.
Copy the whole thing or download it. Nothing is stored against you and no account is involved.
Watching a reel tells you what it said. Reading it tells you how it was built — where the hook ends, how fast the promise arrives, which line made you stay. That structure is what transfers to your own reel; the topic usually does not.
Pull the first three lines from the ten best-performing reels on a topic into one document. The shared move — a question, a number, a contradiction — becomes obvious in a way no amount of scrolling reveals.
A script that worked as a Instagram reel is the raw material for a Short, a carousel, or a newsletter. Start from what was actually said rather than from a blank page.
If you are reacting to or citing someone, having the exact wording with timestamps keeps you accurate and lets your audience check you.
It reads the caption track the reel already has, and most public ones have it — either written by the creator or generated automatically by the platform. Where no caption track exists at all there is nothing to read, and the tool says so rather than returning an empty page. Auto-generated captions also mangle names and jargon, so treat an odd spelling as a transcription artefact before you treat it as a quote.
Extracting the words is the first half. The second half is deciding what you would say differently — which claim you would open with, what you know that they left out. Pull the script here, then take that angle into the script generator and write yours from it rather than around it.
Reading one public video reveals its words, not why it performed. Compare several transcripts yourself today; Kabo's peer-context cards are previews, not live weekly pattern detection.
Copy the link and paste it into the box above. The spoken words come back as text within a few seconds, and you can switch to a timestamped view or copy the whole thing in one click. It works on any public reel — you do not need to own it and you do not need an account.
Yes, with no signup: three free transcripts a day, shared across Kabo's transcript tools. Sign in free to keep going after that — signed-in accounts have no daily limit here.
No. This reads only what is publicly available. Private accounts, deleted reels, and anything behind a follow request return nothing — which is the correct behaviour, not a bug.
When the creator wrote their own captions it is exact. When the platform generated them automatically it is usually good enough to read and search, but it misses punctuation nuance and gets names, brands, and jargon wrong. Check any line you plan to quote against the reel itself.
Use it as research, not as raw material. Someone else's script is their work, and reciting it is both a copyright problem and, more practically, a bad reel — the reason theirs worked was the delivery and the point of view, neither of which copies. Take the structure and bring your own material.
Yes. The timestamped view shows when each line was said, which is what you want when citing a specific moment or studying pacing. The plain view strips them for when you just want to read.
