Upload a Albanian video or audio file, or paste a link, and download timed subtitles in Latin script: SRT for YouTube and video editors, VTT for web players.
How it works
Drop a file, or paste a public link from YouTube, Google Drive or a podcast feed. Files over 500 MB continue on the upload page, up to 10 hours or 5 GB.
Read the first Albanian cues against the audio. Correct a line on the transcript and the subtitle file carries the correction.
SRT for YouTube Studio and video editors, VTT for web players. TXT, DOCX and JSON come from the same transcript.
What to expect with Albanian
For a transcript rather than subtitles, see transcribe Albanian, Albanian audio to text and Albanian YouTube video to text. For subtitles from any YouTube link, YouTube to SRT; for any file, the SRT generator.
Captioning Albanian
Albanian uses the Latin alphabet with two extra letters, ë and ç, and nine digraphs (dh, gj, ll, nj, rr, sh, th, xh, zh) that count as single letters. The ë is the most frequent letter in written Albanian, so an encoding problem that strips it damages almost every line. Keep the file in UTF-8 from download to upload; old subtitle tools that save in a legacy code page are the usual culprit.
Spoken Albanian has two main dialects, Gheg in the north and Kosovo and Tosk in the south. Both transcribe, and the output leans toward standard Albanian, which is Tosk-based. Gheg-specific forms may come back standardised, so review interviews where the exact wording matters.
Albanian also links an adjective or a possessor to its noun with a short article: i, e, të or së, as in libri i ri (the new book) or shtëpia e madhe (the big house). These one-letter words are easy to lose in fast speech, and the phrase reads wrong without them, so check them when you read the cues against the audio.
Delivery
<track> element with srclang="sq". How to attach it.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.
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.
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.

Yes. The file is UTF-8; if they turn into odd characters, a tool in your chain re-saved it in a legacy encoding.
Both transcribe. The text leans toward standard (Tosk-based) Albanian, so review Gheg-heavy speech where wording matters.
Yes. The Albanian is transcribed, and mixed-language passages are the ones to check.
