Can I extract captions/subtitles if they're burned into the video?

Not yet, but this revolutionary feature is coming soon to TokScript! Currently, TokScript extracts the platform-provided transcripts from TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. But we're developing technology to read text that's actually burned into the video image.

Current TokScript extraction (available now):

• Platform-generated captions

• Auto-transcribed content

• Creator-edited subtitles

• Embedded transcript data

Coming soon - Visual text extraction:

• Burned-in captions/subtitles

• On-screen text overlays

• Title cards and graphics

• Visual elements with text

• Frame-by-frame text analysis

Why this matters for TokScript users:

Many viral videos include crucial text that isn't in the transcript:

• Hook text overlayed on video

• Product names shown on screen

• Key points as visual text

• Calls-to-action in graphics

Once available, the Viral Video Analyzer will understand:

• Complete content context (audio + visual)

• Why certain visual elements drive engagement

• How text timing affects retention

• Visual hook patterns that work
