Classic Subtitle subtitles on a landscape video

From speech to subtitles, automatically

Choose the language spoken in the video and CAPWAV transcribes it, splitting the text into readable subtitle lines and timing each one to the voice. Nothing to type, nothing to sync by hand.

Fix a word by clicking it; the timing stays in step. Your video stays on your device, and only the audio is sent to be transcribed.

Is the subtitle generator free?

The Free plan includes 2 minutes of transcription a month, and SRT, VTT and TXT downloads are free on every plan. Videos exported on Free carry the CAPWAV watermark; paid plans add minutes and remove it.

Do I need an account?

Yes, a free account, so your projects and minutes are saved. The SRT/VTT converter and the timing fixer work without one.

What files can I upload?

Video files such as MP4, MOV and WebM, up to about 15 minutes of speech per video.

How accurate are the subtitles?

Accuracy depends on the language and the audio: clear speech in widely spoken languages comes out very well. Every word can be corrected before you download or export.

Can I translate the subtitles?

Yes, on the Creator and Pro plans: tick Translate when the subtitles are made and choose one of 75 languages.
