Frequently Asked Questions
Which links can I convert to text?
FastTranscriber supports public YouTube, TikTok, Facebook video, Google Drive media, and direct public audio or video file URLs. The link must be accessible without signing in.
Can I convert any webpage or article to text?
No. Link to Text transcribes speech from supported public audio and video URLs; it does not extract the written content of ordinary webpages.
What if my link is private or unsupported?
Download a copy of the audio or video that you are allowed to use, then switch to the Upload file tab and transcribe it directly.
