Generate subtitles in three steps

No timing by hand, no karaoke-style typing along — the AI cuts the speech into synced caption lines for you.

  1. Step 1

    Upload or paste a link

    Drop a video or audio file, or paste a YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook link. Every common format works — MP4, MOV, MKV, MP3, WAV and more.

  2. Step 2

    AI generates the subtitles

    Whisper transcribes the speech into punctuated, timestamped caption lines and detects the language automatically — out of 98+.

  3. Step 3

    Edit and export SRT / VTT

    Fix a name, tighten a line, then download SRT or VTT — ready for YouTube, Premiere, CapCut, VLC, or any player and platform.

Subtitles for everything you publish

Most viewers watch with the sound off — subtitles are the difference between watched and skipped.

Social video

Reels, Shorts, TikToks — burned-in or platform captions start from an accurate SRT.

Courses & tutorials

Students search, skim, and rewatch by captions — and accessibility rules increasingly require them.

Podcasts & interviews

Publish video versions with subtitles and clip quotable moments with the text already synced.

Any language in

Speech in 98+ languages transcribes with auto-detection — subtitle foreign-language footage without retyping it.

Minutes, not hours

An hour of video subtitles itself while you get coffee — manual captioning takes 4–6× the runtime.

Full transcript included

The same run gives you the plain-text transcript — show notes, blog post, and description for free.

Why generated subtitles beat auto-captions

Platform auto-captions are unpunctuated, mangle names, and usually can't be exported. SlayScribe gives you the subtitle file itself: punctuated, timestamped SRT or VTT you can edit line by line and upload anywhere — your captions, your control. And if the timing ever drifts against a re-edited video, our free SRT Time Shift fixes it in seconds.
