How do you get the text from a Pinterest video?

Questions and answers

Is the Pinterest video transcript free?

Kalpa transcribes the first 2 minutes of any public video Pin for free, with no sign-up.

Do pin.it links work?

Short pin.it links work just like full Pinterest Pin links, as long as the Pin is public.

Can I keep my Pinterest recipes as text?

You can download a recipe Pin’s transcript as a .txt file or keep it in Kalpa to find it while you cook.

What if the Pin links to another site?

If a Pin only links out to another site, such as YouTube, use the tool for that site instead.

Can I transcribe Pins on secret boards?

Pins on secret boards can’t be opened by link, so only public Pins work.
