About ScriptGrab

ScriptGrab is a small, focused tool that does one thing well: it turns the spoken words in a short-form video into text you can actually use.

What it does

Paste a public link from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or YouTube, and ScriptGrab returns the full spoken script — timestamped, in the original language, ready to copy or download as TXT, SRT or VTT subtitle files.

Who it is for

• Creators studying why a viral video worked — the hook, the structure, the exact wording.
• Marketers pulling quotes and scripts for ads, newsletters and competitive research.
• Editors who need a real caption track (SRT/VTT) without typing timings by hand.
• Educators and students breaking down clips into readable, citable text.

How it works

YouTube videos ship with their own caption track, so YouTube transcripts are free — no account, no credits, no limits. TikTok, Instagram and Facebook publish no captions, so their audio goes through speech recognition; that costs real compute and is billed at one credit per video. A failed extraction never spends a credit.

ScriptGrab is built and maintained by an independent maker. No venture funding, no growth team — just a tool that respects your time.
