Can TokScript transcribe videos in languages other than English?

Yes β€” TokScript can transcribe videos in any language that the platform (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) supports. That's 50+ languages with full character preservation.

TokScript pulls the transcript that's already embedded in the video by the platform. This means you get the exact transcript in the original language β€” not a machine-generated approximation. The accuracy stays at 99% regardless of the language.

If you need the transcript in a different language, you can use TokScript's Translate feature to convert it into any of 11+ supported languages. You can translate during the initial extraction or retranslate any saved transcript later from your dashboard or through the MCP connector in Claude or ChatGPT.

The language is automatically detected and returned as part of the transcript metadata, so you always know what language the original video was in.
