Instagram Transcript Tools — Feature Audit Dataset

A hand-collected comparison of 10 tools that turn Instagram video (Reels, Stories, IGTV, Live replay) into text. Every row was produced by opening the vendor's own page and reading what it actually states. Where a page does not state a value, the cell says not stated — nothing in this dataset is inferred, estimated, or copied from a third-party review. The clearest finding sits in the batch column: 7 of the 10 tools say nothing at all about whether you can submit more than one video at a time. Of the 3 that do mention batch, only 2 give a number (50 links each), and both put it behind a paid plan or a login. Files data/tools.csv — the main dataset, 10 rows x 8 columns data/COLUMNS.md — data dictionary: what each column means and how it was filled README.md — collection method, scope and limits LICENSE — CC0 1.0 Universal legal code Method Collection date: 2026-09-14. Each vendor page was opened and read directly in a browser. Values are transcribed as written, including marketing language where the page uses it. not stated means the page was read in full and simply does not address that column; it does not mean the feature is missing. Scope and limits These are 10 tools, not all tools — they were the top organic results for the query at collection time. No accuracy testing was performed. Every number in quality_claims is the vendor's own claim, not a measurement. Pages change; treat this as a snapshot dated 2026-09-14, not a live fact. If you want to transcribe an Instagram video without uploading it anywhere, the browser-based generator at www.ruanjiange.com/instagram-transcript runs a Whisper model locally in the page and exports TXT and SRT.
