Many self-media creators need to extract video transcripts, but good tools usually charge a hefty fee. Some tools charge monthly subscriptions ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan; others charge per extraction, which can add up significantly.

Surprisingly, I found that Doubao's web version can extract transcripts for free. Simply paste the Douyin video link into Doubao's web version, click "extract," and within seconds, a complete and accurate transcript is ready.

For example, I pasted a link to a previous Douyin video from AIBase, and Doubao quickly returned a complete transcript. After checking, it was accurate, fast, free of typos, and even the English spelling was correct:

I also tested it with another user's video about live stream clips, and it successfully extracted the complete transcript of this long video:

Its accuracy is even higher than that of CapCut's lyric recognition. Who would pay for a Douyin video-to-transcript mini-program anymore? It's a game-changer!
