Webinars, lectures, council meetings and stream replays, subtitled as one file with one continuous clock. No cutting the video into 30-minute parts and no stitching SRT files back together.
How it works
Paste a YouTube or Drive link, or upload the file. For multi-gigabyte video, upload the audio track instead: the subtitles are the same and the upload is minutes, not hours.
You can close the tab. A two to four hour recording typically finishes in about twenty minutes; the transcript opens from your library or the link you were given.
One file covers the whole recording, with hour marks in the timecodes (03:12:45,100).
What we measured on long files
Over 90 days to 4 October 2026 this site finished 334 recordings of two hours or longer, 1,150 hours between them. The longest single recording completed was 10.9 hours.
Three public runs with their full transcripts, including a 9.3-hour one, are on the long-file proof page.

Sample output
1 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:46,500 fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation conceived in in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition 2 00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:50,300 that all men are created equal. 3 00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:57,500 Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived 4 00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:01,620 and so dedicated, can long endure. 5 00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:07,920 We are met on a great battlefield of that war we have come to dedicate a portion of that field 6 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:14,240 as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that their nation might live 7 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,800 it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this

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.

FAQ
Up to 10 hours or 5 GB in one file. Recordings up to about eight hours finish reliably; beyond that it often works but is not something we call dependable, so split at a natural break.
No. One recording gives one subtitle file with a continuous clock, which avoids offsetting and rejoining several SRT files.
Typically around twenty minutes for recordings of two to four hours, measured across our own jobs. You can close the tab and come back.
Upload the audio track. Extract it with the free tool linked on this page; the subtitles and their timing are identical and the upload is far quicker.
Usage is per minute of audio. A 4-hour video uses 240 minutes, under half of the $4 pack of 500 minutes, and credits never expire.
Every page in this set uses the same upload box and the same export. All subtitle pages
