Public Instagram Reels, video posts, posts containing video, and IGTV links are supported. Private, deleted, expired, or region-restricted posts may not be accessible.
Can ScriptGecko transcribe a private Instagram video?+
No. ScriptGecko works with publicly accessible links and does not ask for your Instagram password or bypass privacy settings.
Does the video need existing captions?+
No. ScriptGecko transcribes the spoken audio, so native captions are not required. A video without detectable speech returns a clear message instead of an empty transcript.
How accurate is a Instagram transcript?+
Accuracy depends on audio clarity, background music, accents, speaker overlap, and names or specialist terms. Review important names, numbers, and quotations before publishing.
