Built for this transcription workflow

Use this SRT generator to create timestamped SRT subtitle files from audio or video, ready for YouTube, video editors, and translation into other languages.

Detailed guide

Practical details to help you choose the right transcription workflow before uploading a file.

What is an SRT file?

An SRT file is a plain-text subtitle format that pairs lines of text with start and end timestamps.

Video platforms and editors use SRT files to display captions in sync with the audio.

  • SRT works with YouTube, most video editors, and social platforms.
  • Each subtitle has a number, a time range, and the caption text.
  • You can edit an SRT file in any text editor.

How the SRT generator works

Upload an audio or video file, and the generator transcribes it and splits the text into timed subtitle lines.

You get a ready-to-use SRT file without setting timestamps by hand.

  • Automatic timing based on the spoken audio.
  • Readable line lengths for comfortable on-screen captions.
  • Download the SRT file and upload it to your platform.

Subtitles for YouTube and video editors

Upload the generated SRT to YouTube to publish accurate captions in minutes.

Import the same file into your video editor to burn in or overlay subtitles.

  • Improve accessibility and watch time with accurate captions.
  • Reach viewers who watch without sound.
  • Translate the subtitles into other languages when you need a global audience.

Free SRT generation and limits

You can generate subtitles for short files for free to test the workflow.

Upgrade when you need longer media, more daily files, or regular subtitle production.

  • Free users can transcribe up to 3 files per day.
  • Free files have a 30-minute duration limit per file.
  • Unlimited plans support longer videos and heavier workloads.

  • Uploaded media is processed to generate transcripts and downloadable output files.
  • Uploaded media is automatically deleted from the processing environment shortly after transcripts are generated.
  • Transcript outputs remain available in the user dashboard until the user deletes them or requests removal.
  • TranscribeText applies encryption in transit and at rest, segregated processing queues, and restricted production access.
