Create a transcript and subtitle files from your videos. Speech recognition runs privately on your device using OpenAI’s Whisper model.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add the subtitles to YouTube?

In YouTube Studio, open your video, go to Subtitles, choose Upload file and select the .srt file.

What about YouTube videos I don’t own?

Use the YouTube Transcript Generator to get the captions of any public video.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Only the audio is read, in your browser, and nothing is sent to a server.
