Upload a Bulgarian video or audio file, or paste a link, and download timed subtitles in Cyrillic: 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 Bulgarian 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 Bulgarian
For a transcript rather than subtitles, see transcribe Bulgarian, Bulgarian audio to text and Bulgarian YouTube video to text. For subtitles from any YouTube link, YouTube to SRT; for any file, the SRT generator.
Captioning Bulgarian
Bulgarian uses Cyrillic without ы, э or ё, and uses ъ as a full vowel that appears in everyday words (път, съм), not as a silent sign. Spelling checks and tools set up for Russian flag correct Bulgarian as errors; review with Bulgarian in mind.
Bulgarian verbs carry what nouns do not: there are no noun cases, but there is a renarrative mood for things the speaker did not witness. Той беше там is "he was there"; той бил там is "he was there, reportedly". One ending decides what the speaker vouches for, so keep it exactly as said when you review an interview or a news piece.
Bulgarian typography also has its own letter shapes: in many Bulgarian fonts the lowercase д, л, ж and others look closer to handwriting than the Russian forms. That is a font choice in your editor. The text in the file is the same Unicode either way.

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.
