Paste a Facebook video link or upload a saved MP4, and AskSia returns a clean, timestamped transcript in seconds. Speaker labels and translation in 40+ languages are included on every transcript, ready for study notes, blog posts, captions, or content repurposing. Free to start.
To transcribe a Facebook video to text, you can either paste a public Facebook video URL into AskSia or upload a saved MP4 from your computer or phone. AskSia processes the video's audio with AI speech recognition and returns a timestamped transcript with up to 10 speakers labeled automatically, usually in seconds. The transcript can be translated into more than 40 languages, exported as TXT, DOCX, or SRT subtitles, or sent straight to Google Docs. The free plan covers Facebook videos up to 30 minutes long, which covers practically every Reel and most Watch clips.
Facebook captions are often missing, partial, or burned into the video as graphics. AskSia turns the actual spoken audio into clean, editable, translatable text you can use anywhere outside the app.
Public Reels, Watch shows, and live replays transcribe directly from a URL. Private videos, drafts, and audience-restricted posts work via MP4 upload. One tool covers every Facebook video format.
Facebook videos run the full range from polished media to off-the-cuff phone recordings. AskSia handles modern names, slang, and creator vocabulary, with 95% or higher accuracy on clear audio.
Educational pages on Facebook cover everything from history to language learning to test prep. AskSia turns their videos into searchable transcripts and pairs them with an AI assistant for flashcards, summaries, and quizzes.
Facebook is global. AskSia auto-detects the source language and can translate the transcript into English or any of more than 40 other languages, side by side with the original. Useful for language learners, international news, and global communities.
Open the Facebook video, click the three-dot menu, and choose Copy Link. For your own videos and private posts, download the MP4 to your computer or phone first.
Paste the Facebook URL into AskSia, or drag the saved MP4 into the web app. AskSia detects the source language automatically and identifies up to 10 different speakers in the video.
The transcript appears with timestamps and speaker labels. Ask Sia for a summary, study notes, hooks, or a longer-form post based on the video. Export as TXT, DOCX, SRT subtitles, or send to Google Docs.
Paste URLs from your laptop, save MP4s from your phone, or use AskSia on both. The library syncs everywhere.
On the web, AskSia opens as a split panel. The transcript builds on the left while the AI chat sits on the right, useful for asking for blog drafts, captions, or study guides based on the Facebook video. Drop in MP4s saved from Facebook for private posts and your own drafts.
Save a Facebook video to your camera roll or files app, then open AskSia and pick the MP4 from your phone library. The transcript builds in real time on your screen and syncs to your Web App library when finished.
Many students follow pages that teach history, science, language, finance, law, and test prep on Facebook. Transcribe a video and ask Sia for flashcards, a summary, or a quiz on the topic instead of rewatching the clip.
Facebook is rich with native-speaker video in many languages. Transcribe a Spanish, French, Mandarin, Arabic, or Portuguese post and read the translation alongside the original to study real-world phrasing.
News outlets post videos directly to Facebook, often without full captions. Transcribe a clip into searchable text for quotes, fact-checking, and citation in research papers or articles.
Turn your Facebook video, Reel, or Watch episode into a blog post, an X thread, a LinkedIn post, or a long-form YouTube script. Drop the MP4 in, transcribe, and ask Sia for a longer draft based on the spoken script.
Export the transcript as SRT and use it in your editor or directly on Facebook to caption your Reels and posts for accessibility and engagement.
Researchers and journalists who study Facebook trends, misinformation, or community discourse transcribe videos with timestamps and speaker labels for analysis, citation, and reporting.
Most transcription tools are built for meetings. AskSia is built for how students actually learn: bilingual, fast-moving, context-heavy.
