Convert Any Twitter or X Video to Text
ChatGPT can’t transcribe Twitter videos. It has no video processing ability and can’t access social media content directly. ScreenApp works differently — paste a public video URL from Twitter or X, and it extracts the audio, identifies speakers, and produces a timestamped transcript. The whole process runs in your browser with no software to install.
Most people who post video content on Twitter never make that material searchable. Once it’s transcribed, you can repurpose spoken words into blog posts, article quotes, social threads, or internal documentation. The tool handles clips of any length and filters out background music so the speech comes through clearly.
Here’s what you get:
- Paste any public Twitter or X video URL and receive a transcript in seconds
- 99% accuracy with automatic speaker detection
- Timestamped output for easy reference and citation
- Export to PDF, TXT, SRT, or copy directly to your clipboard
- Batch processing for multiple videos at once
- Built-in editor to review and correct text before exporting
- AI chat that lets you ask questions about the transcript content
Content creators, journalists, marketers, and social media managers all use this to turn video into written material they can search, quote, and redistribute.
How It Works
The process is straightforward:
- Paste a Twitter or X video URL into ScreenApp
- AI audio extraction and transcription begins automatically
- Review the output — it includes timestamps and speaker labels
- Export in your preferred format or copy to clipboard
Everything runs in your browser. There’s nothing to download, and you don’t need to create a separate account for the free tier. Speaker identification works automatically for interviews, panel discussions, and multi-person conversations. The tool also detects the spoken language across 50+ supported languages.

How the competitors compare:
-
Kapwing charges $16-24/month for its Pro plan, which includes 300 subtitle minutes and watermark-free exports. ScreenApp gives you unlimited transcription with no watermarks, plus speaker identification and AI chat that Kapwing doesn’t have.
-
VEED runs $24-55/month for Lite and Pro tiers. Free users get watermarked 720p exports, and user reports mention inconsistent accuracy. ScreenApp handles 10-minute videos free at 99% accuracy with no watermarks.
-
Descript costs $16-24/month and requires a desktop application. ScreenApp runs entirely in-browser, so you can transcribe from any device without installing anything.
-
Otter.ai is $8.33-16.99/month with 1,200 monthly minutes on Pro, but it has limited support for social media video. ScreenApp processes Twitter and X URLs directly with no workarounds needed.
Who Uses This
Content creators turn video posts into written material — blog drafts, newsletter content, or new social threads. Instead of re-watching a video to pull quotes, they get a searchable document in seconds.
Social media managers track viral content and extract talking points for reports. The free tier covers most day-to-day monitoring needs without a paid subscription.
Journalists and researchers pull accurate, timestamped quotes from video sources. Every line in the transcript maps to a specific moment, which makes fact-checking and citation simple.
Marketers analyze competitor content and customer conversations posted as video. Transcripts make it easy to scan for brand mentions, trending language, and campaign angles.
Podcasters who share clips on Twitter can generate full show notes from those recordings. Speaker labels sort out who said what, which saves time on multi-guest episodes and Twitter Spaces recordings.
Transcript Features
The tool works with all video formats and lengths on Twitter and X. Short clips and longer recordings both produce the same 99% accuracy. Filler words are removed automatically, and you can review everything in the built-in editor before exporting.
Export options include plain text, PDF, and SRT subtitle files. SRT output includes timing data, so you can add captions back to video content or import them into an editing tool. If you’re processing several videos at once, batch mode handles multiple URLs in a single session.
FAQ
How do I get a transcript from a Twitter video?
Paste the video URL into ScreenApp. It converts the audio to text with timestamps in under two minutes. Any public Twitter or X video URL works.
Is there a free option?
Yes. The free plan covers videos up to 10 minutes. Premium plans add unlimited processing and priority speed, but most short-form video fits within the free tier.
How accurate is the transcription?
It reaches 99% accuracy on clear audio. Background music, accents, and multiple speakers are all handled well. Audio quality is the main factor — poor recordings may produce lower accuracy.
Does it work with X (formerly Twitter) URLs?
Yes. Both twitter.com and x.com URLs are supported. Paste either format and the tool processes it the same way.
Can I process multiple videos at once?
Yes. Upload several URLs and they’re processed simultaneously. Batch transcription saves time when you’re working through a backlog of content.
Does it support Twitter Spaces?
Yes. Spaces recordings are transcribed with full timestamps and speaker identification for every participant.
How do I get captions from the transcript?
Export in SRT format. The output includes timing data that’s ready for adding captions to video or importing into editing software.
What languages are supported?
Over 50 languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, and Japanese. Language detection is automatic — you don’t need to specify it beforehand.
Can I edit the transcript after it’s generated?
Yes. The built-in editor lets you correct any errors before exporting. All edits stay synced with the original timestamps.
What is a Twitter video converter?
A video converter downloads and processes Twitter or X videos for transcription, format conversion, or editing. Most work online without software installation — you paste a URL and get text, subtitles, or a different video format back.
How do I translate a Twitter video?
Generate the original-language transcript first, then use the translation feature to convert it into your target language. Timestamps carry over, so you can create subtitles in the translated language directly.
