What you get

What a real subtitle file actually needs.

Timed to the speech

Each cue is a spoken phrase with its start and end time, measured from the audio. Most cues run a few seconds; a passage with no pause can be longer, and splits cleanly in any subtitle editor.

Editor compatibility

SRT works in YouTube Studio, Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, Descript, and every HTML5 video player. VTT is the web-standard format. Drop the file in, the captions appear — no format conversion, no plugin.

Edit before export

Open the transcript, fix a misheard name or jargon term, and the SRT updates with it. Export the corrected file — no round-trip through a desktop captioning app, no manual SRT timestamp arithmetic.

99 languages

Transcription covers Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Mandarin, Arabic, Portuguese, and 90+ more. Auto-detect picks the language from the audio — you don't have to set anything.

Why word-level timing matters

Free auto-captions vs a real SRT file.

✗ Auto-captions (YouTube, free tools)

Automatic captions stay on the platform that made them, and are missing or weak for many languages. Fine as a floor, not as a file you can edit and reuse.

Tied to one platform
No file to take into an editor
Missing for many languages
Names and terms left uncorrected
Labelled auto-generated

Sample output

Word-timed. SRT-ready.

The same transcript exports as SRT and VTT, each line with its start and end time.

transcript · whipscribe.com/view/subtitle-generator

00:00:04 The first thing you'll notice when you open the file is that every line is punctuated and capitalized.

00:00:11 That's not standard for auto-generated subtitles. Most free tools give you a wall of lowercase text.

00:00:18 Word-level timing means each word's start and end are stored separately.

00:00:23 If you're rendering animated captions, this is the difference between karaoke-style reveal and chunks-of-three.

FAQ

Subtitle generator questions, answered.

What's the difference between SRT and VTT?

SRT is the older, simpler format — works in every video editor and most players. VTT is the web standard — supports styling, positioning, and metadata, used by HTML5 video and modern streaming players. We export both from the same transcript so you have whichever you need.

Will these subtitles work in DaVinci Resolve / Premiere / Final Cut?

Yes. Standard SRT files import directly into DaVinci Resolve (drag onto the subtitle track), Premiere Pro (File → Import Captions), and Final Cut Pro (File → Import → Captions). The same file works in CapCut, Descript, and Adobe Express without conversion.

Can I edit a misheard word and re-export?

Yes. Open the transcript, correct the line, and download again. The SRT and VTT carry the correction, and the timing is unchanged.

Does it support multiple languages in one file?

It detects one main language per file. For mixed-language recordings it does its best on both, with lower accuracy on the second language. To get subtitles in a different language, accounts with credits can translate them into 35 languages from the download menu.

What about burned-in captions for social clips?

This page generates the SRT and VTT files. To draw captions into the video for TikTok, Reels or Shorts, import the file into CapCut, Premiere, Resolve or HandBrake and export with the captions on.

How accurate is the timing?

Cue times are measured from the audio, phrase by phrase, so the file lines up with the recording you uploaded. Background music, overlapping speech and long passages without a pause make cues less tidy; adjust those in a subtitle editor.
