All questions
What is TokScript, exactly?
TokScript is an AI transcription platform for short-form video: paste a TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts link and get an accurate, timestamped transcript in 100+ languages. Around the engine sit bulk import for 50 links, a Chrome extension, HD downloads, AI script agents, and an MCP integration for Claude and ChatGPT.
Is TokScript safe to use?
Yes — the platform reads publicly available video pages the same way a browser does, and you never hand over your TikTok or Instagram password. Paid accounts store transcripts in an encrypted cloud library, and checkout runs through Lemon Squeezy, an established merchant-of-record platform.
Is TokScript any good? What do the numbers say?
The platform reports 71,900+ creators, 84M+ minutes transcribed, and 2M+ videos processed on its official About page — and the free plan means you can judge output quality yourself on five real videos today, before any payment.
How do I log in to TokScript?
Accounts live on the official site: go to tokscript.com and sign in there — this resource hub does not host accounts. If your login fails, password reset and account recovery are handled through the official Help Center at help.tokscript.com.
Does the free plan really stay free?
Yes — 5 transcripts a day, forever, including the Chrome extension and MCP access. Paid plans exist for volume: unlimited transcripts, collections import, HD media downloads, and AI agents from $10 monthly, with API access from the $39-a-year Annual plan up.
Which platforms does it support?
TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts everywhere; the Chrome extension additionally reads regular YouTube videos. There is no native mobile app — the web app is responsive and covers phone use.
Can it transcribe languages other than English?
Yes — the engine supports 100+ languages per the official About page, and it keeps the spoken language as-is rather than auto-translating, which preserves slang and phrasing script writers rely on.
What export formats do transcripts come in?
On paid plans, four: TXT for scripts and docs, CSV for spreadsheets, and XML or JSON for pipelines — every export keeps the timestamps, and the cloud library lets you re-export later without re-processing. The free plan covers reading and copying the transcript itself.
The fastest answer is first-hand: run five videos through TokScript today, free.
