How to unlock a post's transcript and analysis
Updated October 28, 2026
When a post catches your eye, ContentScout lets you dig in two ways: pull the transcript (the video's spoken text) or generate the full analysis of the post. Each one is charged in credits, per post and only once: the unlock stays saved forever.
What you unlock
- Transcript: the video's full text. It only exists on video posts: a photo has nothing to transcribe.
- Analysis: breaks down the post's style, hooks and structure, with the hook, why it works, and why it's relevant to you based on your profile.
How to do it
Open the post wherever you have it
A competitor's post, on the Posts tab of their account, under Accounts in Tracking, or in "All competitors". A keyword's post, inside the keyword in Keywords. A saved one, in Saved. One from the Viral library. One of yours, on the Posts tab of your account. And one you track daily, in Tracked posts.
Press its button
On another account's post, "Generate transcript" or "Generate analysis"; on one of yours, "Get transcript"; on one you track daily, "Get transcript (1 credit)". Each button shows its credit cost before charging you. Confirm to continue.
Read the result
The transcript or the analysis opens right there, in the post's detail.
Come back anytime
Once generated, that post's button reads "View transcript" and it's free: reopening it never spends credits.
The cost is charged once per post and the unlock never expires. If a button already looks dark and marked as free, that content is already yours.
Frequently asked questions
Can I generate only the transcript?
Yes. The transcript and the analysis are independent: pull just one or both, and each is charged separately.
The post has no transcript button.
Transcripts only exist for video posts. And if a video is music-only or has no speech, there's no text to pull.
Where do the credits come from?
From your balance. You can see how many you have left at the bottom of the sidebar, under your name, and manage them in Subscription.
Is the analysis the same everywhere?
Yes. Whether it's a post from an account in Tracking, from a keyword, or one imported by link, you get the same breakdown: the hook, why it works, and why it's relevant to you.
What if the post isn't on any of those screens?
Import it by its link in Saved, with "Analyze a post": it costs 2 credits (the fetch and the analysis) and the post stays saved there, with its transcript button.
