Subtitle generator From the sound, every word timed, yours to edit.

Drop a video and the subtitles are written from the sound with their timing. Fix a word by typing over it, drag a line to retime it, pick a style, and export the MP4 or just the SRT.

Subtitle generator at a glance

A generator is only as good as the fixes it lets you make. Here the transcript is the editor, so a wrong name or a line that runs long takes seconds to correct, and the export matches the preview.

Works with
MP4, MOV and WebM. Subtitles written from the sound, every word timed.
Comes back as
SRT, VTT and plain text, and an MP4 with the subtitles burned in at the size of your video.
Editing
Every line is text with a start and an end: edit, split, join, retime on the strip, drag anywhere on the picture, undo.
Runs
In your browser.
Price
Free, no watermark.

How it works

  1. Drop the video in. It opens in the editor with the picture on the right.
  2. Choose Auto captions. The sound goes out, the subtitles come back timed and grouped into lines.
  3. Edit and export. Fix any line, retime it on the strip, style it, then export the MP4 with the subtitles burned in, or download the SRT, VTT or text.

Questions people ask

How accurate is the generator?

Clear speech comes back nearly word-perfect with timing within a fraction of a second. Names, jargon and heavy accents miss more often, which is what the editor is for.

Which languages does it generate?

Most major languages, detected automatically from the sound. Styles and export work for any language.

Can I get only the SRT?

Yes. Open Export and download the SRT, VTT or plain text without making a video. They carry every edit.

Is it free?
