Downloading TikTok video captions for translation purposes requires a few careful steps, as TikTok does not provide a direct free download tiktok video option for captions within its app

Begin by launching the target TikTok clip and double-checking that the subtitle feature is turned on

Auto-generated subtitles are the norm on TikTok, appearing dynamically over the video content as it runs

To capture these, you can use screen recording software to record the video with the captions visible

For best results, play the video on a reliable device and activate your system’s built-in screen recorder

This will preserve the captions as part of the video frame

The next step is to convert the audio and visual text into a written transcript
