How long are Spaces recordings available?

30 days if the host enabled replay. If they didn’t, the Space is gone when it ends.

Does it work on mobile?

Copy the link from the X app and open TranscriptX in a browser. Desktop is easier for grabbing the URL.

Can I transcribe a live Space?

No — we need a completed recording. Wait until the Space ends and the replay is processed (usually a few minutes).

What if the host deleted the recording?

Then it’s gone. X doesn’t restore deleted Spaces.

How to Transcribe a Twitter/X Spaces Recording

Updated 24 Apr 2026 · TranscriptX editorial

Quick answer: Open the Space on x.com, copy the URL, paste on TranscriptX. If the host didn’t enable replay, you’ve missed it — the Space vanished when it ended.

Twitter/X Spaces are ephemeral. If you want the transcript, grab it before the replay expires.

The 30-second answer

Open the Space on x.com, copy the URL, paste on TranscriptX.

Step-by-step

1) Find the Space on X

Go to the host’s profile. If replay is on, the Space appears pinned near the top or in their posts.

2) Copy the URL

URL format is x.com/i/spaces/SPACEID.

3) Paste on TranscriptX

Drop the link on transcriptx.xyz. Long Spaces (2-3 hours is common) take proportionally longer.

Common things that break

No replay enabled. Some hosts turn off replay. No recovery.
Replay expired. 30 days and the URL 404s.
Protected account host. We can’t follow anyone.
Overlapping speakers. Common on Spaces with 5+ active speakers. Expect some garbled patches.
