An SRT file, timed to the speech
CAPWAV transcribes the audio, groups the words into subtitle lines and gives each line its start and end time, in the standard SRT layout: numbered cues, times like 00:00:01,250 --> 00:00:03,000, then the text.
Correct any word in the editor before you download; the timing stays in step. Downloads are saved as UTF-8, so accents and non-Latin scripts come out right.

Use it anywhere
Upload the SRT to YouTube, Facebook or LinkedIn, import it into a video editor, or keep it as a record of what was said. Need WebVTT for a website player? Download VTT instead, or convert later with the free subtitle converter.
Instagram Reels and TikTok don't take subtitle files: for those, export the video with the captions burned in.
