### Add captions to a Reel

Export SRT for a video editor or VTT for a web player when the note has timestamps. Check the timing against the cut you plan to publish, especially if you trimmed the original Reel.

## Facebook transcription questions

Can I get a transcript from a Facebook Reel?

Yes. Open the public Reel, copy its share link, then choose Import link in Speechyou Notes. Reels with audible speech can be turned into text and exported as subtitles when timestamps are available.

Do Facebook short links work?

Public fb.watch and facebook.com/share/v/ links are supported. If a share link fails, open it in a browser and copy the full address of the video it opens.

How do I transcribe a Facebook Live replay?

Once the broadcast is finished, look for a public replay with a supported video URL and copy that link. If the replay is unavailable by link, upload a saved recording you can use.

Do I need captions on the Facebook video already?

Speechyou transcribes the video’s audible speech. If the video contains music without dialogue, you’ll need a version with speech to create a transcript.

Can I transcribe a Facebook video from a private group?

Link import requires a publicly accessible video. If you have permission and a copy of a group video, upload that file in Notes.

## Transcribe your own Facebook video

Copy the public video link. Open Notes in Speechyou and select Import link.
