Get a Transcript from a Pinterest Video Pin
Paste a Pinterest pin link and ScreenApp fetches the video and transcribes it directly, no download needed. ScreenApp’s link importer covers YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and most other public video links (Twitch, Loom, Dropbox, Google Drive, Pinterest, X, Threads, Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili) through a generic importer. If a pin is private or the account requires login to view it, the link import fails; in that case, upload a Pinterest video you have already downloaded to your device, or open the pin in a browser tab and record it with the screen recorder, then upload that recording. Either way, you get a full transcript with timestamps a few minutes later.
Once the audio is in ScreenApp, the transcript is searchable, editable, and ready to translate or summarize, instead of a video you have to replay to find a quote.
What you get:
- A transcript with speaker labels and timestamps, in 100+ languages
- Export as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT
- Translate the transcript or captions: transcript and caption translation
- Ask AI questions about the video and get answers that point to the moment it happened
- Free plan: 2 transcriptions of recordings up to 45 minutes each, with AI chat on both
How to Transcribe a Pinterest Video
- Get the video into ScreenApp: Paste the pin’s link and ScreenApp fetches and transcribes the video directly. If the pin is private or requires login, link import will not work; download the pin instead (look for the download icon or the ”…” menu on a pin; not every pin allows it) and upload it directly (MP4, M4V, MOV, AVI, WEBM, MKV, FLV, TS, MTS, M2TS, 3GP, 3GPP, 3G2, WMV, ASF, VOB, OGV, RM, RMVB, MPG, MPEG, M2V, F4V, MXF, or MP3, M4A, MP4A, M4B, AAC, WAV, OGG, OPUS, FLAC, AIFF, WMA, WEBMA, MKA, AC3, EAC3, WV, AMR, DSF, DFF), or open it in a browser tab, use the screen recorder to capture the tab while the video plays, then upload the recording.
- Let it transcribe: The audio is converted to text, speakers are separated, and every sentence gets a timestamp.
- Search, edit, export: Read the transcript in the browser, edit it, and export as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT.
Accuracy depends on the audio. A clean single-speaker clip with music kept low transcribes best; heavy background music, overlapping voices, or a recording made off a phone speaker will have more gaps. See how we measure accuracy by language.

Who Uses Pinterest Transcription
Content creators convert their own video pins back into text for blog posts, newsletters, and product descriptions, instead of retyping a script from memory.
E-commerce sellers transcribe product demo pins to pull accurate spoken content into listings, ad copy, and email campaigns.
Recipe and DIY publishers turn video instructions into written step-by-step recipes or builds, which are easier to skim and follow than a video.
Educators and bloggers pull teaching points and quotes from tutorial pins for course material and resource lists.
Marketing teams transcribe competitor pins so pin content can be searched across a research file instead of rewatched one at a time.
