Drop a video or audio file, or paste a link, and download subtitles as SRT or VTT. This page is the map: every source, platform, editor, format and language we have written up, with the real steps for each.
How it works
Any audio or video file, or a public link from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Google Drive, a podcast feed and more.
Most files are ready in under a minute. Correct names and terms; the corrections go into every download.
Attach the file on your video platform, import it into your editor, or translate it into 35 languages first.
Make subtitles
Start here when you have a recording and want a subtitle file.
From a link or a file
Each page says honestly whether a link works for that source or whether to upload the file.
WebVTT
Browsers and several platforms accept only .vtt.
For a platform or an editor
The upload dialog, the import menu, and the detail that usually goes wrong.
Convert a subtitle file

Real output, unedited: a public-domain LibriVox reading of the Gettysburg Address (2 min 41 s) transcribed here in October 2026. The repeated word and the missing capitals are what came back; you would fix those on the transcript before downloading.
Before you rely on it
Each cue is a phrase from the transcript with its start and end time. Most run a few seconds. A passage spoken without a pause can come out as one long cue of up to about half a minute, so split those in your editor if your platform wants two short lines at a time.
Cue times are taken from the recording itself, so the file lines up with the video or audio you uploaded. If you trim the start of the video afterwards, shift the cues by the same amount in your editor.
On public test recordings, about 7 words in 100 differed from the reference for clean English read speech, between 4 and 9 in 100 for Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, French and German, and about 21 in 100 for Hindi. Noisy rooms, music and crosstalk do worse. Method and every number: the benchmark.
Open the transcript, correct a misheard name or number on its line, and the SRT and VTT you download carry the correction with the timing unchanged.
You get the subtitle file. Fonts, colours, position and captions drawn into the picture are done in your video editor or player, which reads this file.
Up to 10 hours or 5 GB per recording. The box on this page takes files up to 500 MB; larger ones continue on the upload page. 99+ languages, detected automatically.
From the download menu an account with credits can translate the subtitles into 35 languages and download them as SRT. Timing is kept from the original, so the translated file fits the same video.
Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters. The cues in the subtitle file carry the words and their timing only.
