X (Twitter) Spaces to text
Hour-long Spaces, as notes you can skim in minutes.
How do you get a transcript of an X Space?
To get a Twitter Spaces transcript, find the recorded Space, copy its link from the host’s post or the Space itself and paste it above. Only recorded Spaces can be transcribed after they end. The first 2 minutes of any Space are free here, with timestamps; the rest of the Space is in Kalpa.

Notes for everyone who missed the Space

Good to know
- Unrecorded Spaces can’t be transcribed after they end.
- Hosts can delete recordings at any time.
- Many voices come out as one stream of timestamped text — the web tool doesn’t label speakers.

Questions and answers
Can I transcribe a live X Space?
No, an X Space can only be transcribed once it has ended and the host has kept the recording.
Why won’t my X Space link open?
The Space may not have been recorded or the host may have deleted the recording, and Kalpa can only transcribe public content.
How much of an X Space is free?
Kalpa transcribes the first 2 minutes of any recorded X Space for free, with no sign-up, and the rest of the Space is in the Kalpa app.
Does the X Space transcript show who is speaking?
No, the web tool doesn’t label speakers, so the host and guests appear as one stream of timestamped text.
Which languages can a Space be in?
Kalpa detects the language of the Space automatically and supports 25 languages.
