What is ScriptGecko?

Transcripts from YouTube, Instagram and TikTok videos or uploaded files.

Who is ScriptGecko best for?

ScriptGecko is best for creators and marketers who want timestamped text of public videos to study or repurpose.

  • Studying other creators' hooks

    Read a Reel, TikTok or Short as text to see how it opens and pitches, without replaying it.

  • Repurposing your own videos

    Pull the spoken words out of your clips as a starting point for captions, newsletters or blog drafts.

  • Research and notes

    Timestamped segments make interviews and explainers easy to scan and quote, and the whole transcript downloads as a TXT file.

ScriptGecko is free for 2 transcripts a day without an account or 3 when signed in, and its paid plans cost $9.99 a month for 200 credits (Starter) or $19.99 a month for 1,000 credits (Popular).
