From link to quotable text
- Capture the evidence. Save the URL, account name and the time you saw it.
- Paste and convert. Text arrives with optional speaker labels and timestamps.
- Verify the source. Check the account and whether the clip is original and current.
- Attribute precisely. “In a video posted on …” — never as your own reporting.

Frequently asked questions
Can I understand a video in a language I don't speak?
Yes. Paste a public link from Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, Threads, SoundCloud or Dailymotion and AI Journalist converts what is said into text in your language — and can write it up as an article. A direct YouTube link is not supported; upload the video file instead.
Can podcasters and video creators use it?
Yes. Upload the episode or paste a public link, export SRT captions in any language, and write the same recording up as a blog post, newsletter or show notes — in the language of each audience.
How long can a recording be?
Up to 2 hours per recording and 1 GB per file. Long recordings are processed in sections and joined back together, so the upload doesn't fail halfway. Large videos are compressed on your own device first, so only a small audio file is uploaded.
What happens to my audio file?
Audio is deleted from the server as soon as the text is produced. Your records keep the text and the article — not the recording.
