Usage Guide & Tips

Selecting the Right Language

For best results, select a specific language from the dropdown instead of “Auto-detect.” Instagram generates captions in multiple languages — manually picking the right one ensures you get the correct track.

Understanding Methods

Auto — tries native Instagram captions first (instant, 1–3s).
AI — downloads audio and transcribes with Whisper (30–120s, more accurate for videos without captions).

Supported URL Formats

instagram.com/reel/instagram.com/p/instagram.com/tv/

Long IGTV Videos

For long-form IGTV content, use the Time Range selector to pick the segment you need. Re-submit the same URL with the next segment to transcribe the full video in parts.
