Can I use this to get a written transcript of a Douyin video?
Yes — paste the video's share link and it will download the audio, run it through speech recognition, and hand you back a full text transcript you can copy or save.
Can I use this to download a Douyin video without the watermark?
Yes — it fetches the original, watermark-free video file straight from the share link, with no editing software needed.
Which apps does this work in?
It's built for Claude Desktop and other chat apps that support this kind of connection, such as Cherry Studio.
Do I need an account or API key?
Yes, the transcription feature needs a free API key from SiliconFlow (new accounts get some free usage), or you can reuse an existing Alibaba Cloud key if you already have one.
Is it hard to set up?
It takes more than a simple copy-and-paste — you'll need a few one-time technical prerequisites installed first, so it helps to have a technically minded friend walk through the setup with you.
Can I get a video's information without paying for anything?
Yes — looking up a video's title, ID, and download link is completely free and doesn't need an API key; only the speech-to-text transcript requires one.
Will it work on very long videos?
Yes — clips longer than an hour or larger than 50 megabytes are automatically split into smaller pieces, transcribed in stages, and stitched back into one finished transcript.
Can I save the transcript afterward?
Yes — transcripts can be copied directly or exported as a simple text document for use elsewhere.
