Built for Captioning

Four things that matter when you caption video.

01

SRT and VTT you can download

Export a standards-compliant SRT or VTT subtitle file plus a JSON with timing. Upload the SRT in YouTube Studio, attach the VTT to your player, or hand it to your editor — the file is yours.

02

Per-word, frame-tight timing

Captions land on the word, not the paragraph. Per-word and per-segment timestamps mean lines appear and clear in sync with speech — no dragging blocks around by hand.

03

Speaker labels for interviews

Two-person interviews and panels get Speaker 1, Speaker 2 turns you can rename. Handy for chevron-style captions or a readable transcript beneath the video.

04

99 languages, plus translation

Caption in the source language for a native audience, or export an English translation track to reach viewers who don't speak it. Timing is preserved either way.

Questions

Captioning FAQs.

What caption formats can I export?

SRT and VTT subtitle files, plus a JSON with per-word timing. SRT for YouTube and most hosts; VTT for HTML5 players and social tools.

Can I edit captions before download?

Yes. Fix words, merge or split lines, and rename speakers in the editor, then export a clean SRT or VTT.

Can I add these to a YouTube video?

Yes. Download the SRT and upload it in YouTube Studio, or attach the VTT to your own player. You own the file, so it works anywhere.

Caption it once. Publish it everywhere.

Your first transcript is free at any length; leave an email to open it. Packs from $8 for 1,000 minutes after that; credits never expire.
