About Instagram to Text

This tool converts Instagram Reels or videos into text transcripts directly in the user’s browser without uploading files to a server. Users first download a public Instagram video or Reel to their device, then select the local file on this page. The transcription process uses a local Whisper speech model that supports 99 languages, allowing automatic language detection or manual selection. The tool processes audio or video files in formats such as MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, and WebM, provided the browser can decode them. Once transcription completes, users can copy the plain text or download it in TXT, SRT, or VTT formats, all generated locally. The page emphasizes privacy by stating that files remain on the user’s device and are not sent to external servers or APIs.
