Transcript to Subtitles

Turn a plain transcript into timed SRT or WebVTT cues at a realistic reading speed.

Converting a transcript to subtitles means splitting the text into cues that fit a character limit and assigning each a duration from its word count and an assumed speaking rate. The result is a structured SRT or WebVTT file that needs adjusting against the audio, but saves the work of typing every timestamp.

Frequently asked questions

Will the generated timings match my audio?

No — they are estimated from word count and an assumed speaking rate. They give you correctly structured cues to adjust rather than correct timings, which saves the tedious part but not the sync work.
