TokScript tutorials — learn the desk in minutes
New here and wondering how to use it? The short version: paste any TikTok, Reels, or Shorts link into the input bar, press Transcribe, and export the timestamped text in any of 100+ languages — the free plan gives you 5 transcripts a day to practice with. The guides below go deeper: one per platform, plus the MCP setup that puts transcripts inside Claude and ChatGPT.
Pick your starting point
If you mostly work from one platform, start with its guide — the TikTok walkthrough is the most detailed of the three and the other two build on it. If your videos already sit in Claude or ChatGPT conversations, skip straight to the MCP setup: it is a one-time, four-step connection and turns every later transcript into a single chat message. And if you are deciding whether the tool fits at all, any guide doubles as a product tour — the core paste-and-transcribe steps run on the free plan's daily allowance, and each guide marks which later steps (batching, exports, agents) belong to paid tiers.

Can't find your answer?
Quick answers to "is it safe", "is it free", and account questions live on our FAQ page; product-side issues — billing, account access, bugs — are handled fastest by the official Help Center. New features land on the changelog as the product ships them, and each guide above is kept in sync with the current interface — when a button moves or a limit changes, the affected steps get rewritten and the update is dated, so the screenshots and instructions you follow always describe the product as it works today rather than as it worked at launch. If a guide and the live interface ever disagree, tell us through the contact page and we will fix it within days.
Fastest way to learn is doing: the free plan's 5 daily transcripts cover every guide's core steps.
