Convert Pinterest Videos to Text in Seconds
ScreenApp’s Pinterest transcript generator turns any video pin into accurate, timestamped text. Paste a URL, and the tool processes audio using AI speech recognition trained on social media content. You get a clean, editable transcript back in under a minute — no software installation or video download required.
Here’s what you can do with it:
- Transcribe video pins and Story Pins from any URL
- Get 99% accurate text with automatic timestamps
- Identify different speakers in multi-person videos
- Ask AI questions about the transcript content
- Export as TXT, PDF, SRT, or copy to clipboard
- Process videos in 50+ languages with auto-detection
Creators and marketers use this to repurpose spoken content from pins into blog posts, product descriptions, and captions. Instead of manually typing out what someone said in a tutorial or demo video, the tool does it for you.
Why ScreenApp Instead of ChatGPT?
You might wonder why you’d use a dedicated transcription tool when ChatGPT can process text. The difference is straightforward: ChatGPT can’t watch or listen to a Pinterest video. You’d need to download the video file, extract the audio, convert it to a supported format, upload it, and then prompt it for a transcript. That’s five steps before you even start.
ScreenApp handles it in one. Paste the pin URL and the AI pulls the audio directly, transcribes it with speaker labels and timestamps, and gives you a chat interface to ask follow-up questions about the content. You can ask “what products were mentioned?” or “summarize the main tips” and get answers drawn straight from the transcript. That kind of context-aware Q&A on video content isn’t something a general-purpose chatbot can do natively.
How It Works
Step 1: Paste the video URL. Copy the link to any Pinterest video or Story Pin and drop it into ScreenApp. The tool accepts direct pin URLs — no need to download the video file first or use a third-party converter.
Step 2: AI processes the audio. Speech recognition runs automatically in your browser. The system identifies speakers, filters background noise, and generates text with word-level timestamps. Most videos under five minutes finish in about 30 seconds.
Step 3: Review and export. Read through the transcript, make edits if needed, and export in your preferred format. Options include plain text, PDF, Word, and SRT files for captions. You can also use the AI chat to summarize or analyze what was said.

ScreenApp vs. Kapwing: Kapwing is a full video editor with transcription built in, but it can’t import directly from a pin URL. You’d need to download the video first and upload it manually. Kapwing’s free plan also adds watermarks to exports, and its transcription focus is on editing the video through text rather than extracting standalone transcripts. ScreenApp pulls audio straight from the source link and gives you a clean text file without watermarks.
ScreenApp vs. VEED: VEED has strong auto-subtitle features and claims 98% accuracy, but its free tier limits subtitling to 2 minutes per month. It’s built primarily for adding captions back onto video, not for generating standalone transcripts you can repurpose. ScreenApp’s AI chat feature also lets you interact with the text after transcription — something VEED doesn’t offer.
ScreenApp vs. InstaSkript: InstaSkript is the closest direct competitor, with Pinterest-specific URL import and GPU-powered processing. It handles 3 free transcriptions per day and claims 99.2% accuracy. Where ScreenApp pulls ahead is the AI chat layer and speaker identification — InstaSkript produces a flat transcript without distinguishing who said what, and it lacks the ability to ask questions about the content.
ScreenApp vs. Descript: Descript is a desktop application focused on podcast and video editing. It requires installation, doesn’t accept pin URLs, and its free tier is a limited trial. For someone who just wants to turn a Pinterest video into text, it’s the wrong tool. ScreenApp works entirely in the browser and is purpose-built for quick transcription from social media URLs.
Who Uses This
Content creators turn spoken video content into written material for pin descriptions, blog posts, and newsletters. A single product tutorial can become a detailed how-to article in minutes.
E-commerce sellers transcribe product demo videos to build accessible, SEO-friendly product listings. The text also works well for ad copy and email campaigns pulled from what’s already been said on camera.
Marketing teams analyze competitor pins by converting their videos to searchable text. This makes trend research and content gap analysis much faster than watching each video manually.
Social media managers generate accessible text versions of video content across accounts. Batch processing handles multiple pins in one session, saving hours of manual work each week.
Educators and bloggers extract ideas and quotes from video tutorials shared on the platform. The SRT export option also makes it easy to add captions back to your own video content for better accessibility.
