Free SRT generator timed captions, first one $0.99.
Turn a recording into an SRT file any editor or player will read. The opening transcript costs nothing and opens in full at any length, and starting a job needs no account.
What you get
A caption file, correctly timed.
SRT and VTT together
One job produces both caption formats. SRT is what most video editors and desktop players expect, while VTT is the one browsers and HTML5 players want.
Free on the first job
That opening transcript is free and complete at any length, with the caption downloads included rather than held back for a paid tier.
Nothing to install
It all runs in the browser. There is no desktop application, no command line, and no account required to start a job and read the preview.
Portable by design
A caption file goes anywhere. Drop the SRT onto a timeline in whichever editor you already use, or attach the VTT to a web player.
What is in the file
Timings and words, and no speaker names.
This is worth being exact about, because it decides whether the file does what you need. An SRT carries numbered cues, start and end timings, and the words spoken in each cue. VTT holds the same information in the shape browsers expect.
Neither carries speaker labels. You see speaker labels when reading the transcript on the site, and JSON is the sole download that keeps them. If you need to know who said each line inside a file rather than on screen, take the JSON.
Add audio or video
Upload the file, or paste a podcast host, YouTube or Apple Podcasts episode link. Links from Spotify, Kick VOD, Podbean and Zoom cannot be fetched.
Check the preview
Read the transcript in the browser first, so you know the wording and the timing suit the cut before going further.
Download the captions
Take the SRT, the VTT, or both, and attach them to the video wherever it lives.

SRT generator questions.
What is free here exactly?
The opening transcript is free and readable in full at any length, and its caption downloads come with it. Starting a job and viewing the preview needs no signup. It does not repeat monthly and no standing free allowance follows.
Do SRT files include speaker names?
No. SRT and VTT carry cue timings and words only. The transcript view on the site names the speakers, and JSON is the one download format that includes them.
What is the difference between SRT and VTT?
They hold the same cues in slightly different syntax. SRT suits most video editors and desktop players, and VTT is the format browsers and HTML5 players use. Both come out of a single job, so take whichever your tool wants.
Can I caption a video file?
Yes. Upload the video directly and take the caption file back. The video itself returns unchanged, because nothing is re-encoded and no subtitles are burned into the picture.
How long can the recording be?
The free job covers recordings up to 3 hours. With credits, one file can run to 10 hours or 5 GB.
What does it cost after the first transcript?
Packs are one-time: 1,000 minutes for $8, 2,000 for $12, 5,000 for $24. Nothing auto-renews and the credits do not expire.
