Instagram Reels are packed with valuable content — cooking tips, fitness routines, tutorials, interviews — but the words spoken disappear the moment the video ends. With an AI transcription tool, you can convert any Instagram Reel to text in seconds, just by pasting the URL. No download required.
Why Transcribe Instagram Reels?
There are more use cases than you might think:
- Content repurposing — Turn a Reel into a caption, tweet, newsletter, or blog post without rewriting from scratch.
- Accessibility — Captions help deaf users and anyone watching without sound (that's over 85% of social media video viewers).
- Research & journalism — Quote speakers accurately without rewatching a video multiple times.
- Translation — Transcribe the spoken audio, then translate to reach a global audience.
- SEO for your own content — Text transcripts make your content discoverable by search engines.
How to Transcribe an Instagram Reel to Text
Dokitscript lets you transcribe any public Instagram Reel directly from its URL — powered by OpenAI Whisper, the most accurate speech recognition model available today.
Copy the Instagram Reel URL
Open Instagram on your phone or browser. Tap the three dots (···) on the Reel, then tap Copy link. On desktop, copy the URL from the address bar.
Paste the URL into Dokitscript
Go to dokitscript.com and paste the Instagram URL in the input field. Choose your language or leave Auto-detect enabled.

Does It Work on All Instagram Content?
Dokitscript works on public Instagram Reels. A few things to keep in mind:
- The account must be public — private accounts are not accessible.
- Works on Reels with spoken dialogue, voiceover, or narration.
- Background music without speech will produce little or no transcript (that's normal — transcription captures speech, not music).
- Accuracy is best with clear speech and minimal background noise.
