Everything you need from a Twitter video transcript
One request transcribes the native video and returns segments, full text, and word count.
Timestamped Segments
Each transcript segment includes the spoken text, start time, duration, and a human-readable timestamp. Ready for subtitle rendering or time-indexed search.
Full Transcript Text
The complete transcript is returned as a single continuous string alongside the segments — useful for direct text processing without joining segments manually.
Word Count
The word count is included in every response so you can quickly assess content length or filter transcripts by size in bulk processing pipelines.
Powered by Gemini AI
Transcription uses Gemini AI for high accuracy on spoken content, accents, and noisy audio — including short-form video clips common on Twitter/X.
No Setup Required
Pass any tweet URL containing native video. No developer account, no OAuth, no video downloading on your side. The API handles extraction and transcription server-side.

What teams build with the Twitter Transcript API
Content Repurposing
Turn Twitter video clips into written content automatically. Feed the transcript into an LLM to generate a thread, blog post, or newsletter excerpt without watching the video.
AI & RAG Pipelines
Structured transcript text is exactly what LLMs need. Index Twitter video content in a vector database and make it searchable or retrievable in a RAG system.
Accessibility Tooling
Generate captions or subtitles for Twitter/X videos for accessibility use cases, archiving, or embedding in your own player with timestamped overlays.
Research & Journalism
Transcribe public statements, interviews, and press clips shared as native Twitter video. Get structured text fast without manual transcription or external tools.
Podcast & Media Monitoring
Track what's being said in Twitter video clips from key accounts — executives, journalists, or competitors. Pipe transcripts into keyword alerting or sentiment systems.
