Written from your corrected transcript
The SRT is generated from the words and timings you edited, not from the model's first attempt.
SRT generator
Create an SRT file from your video, with timings you can trust.
AutoCap transcribes your video, lets you correct every word and timing, and writes a clean SRT file from the result.

100:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,400A subtitle file is only as good 200:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,100as its timings. 300:00:05,300 --> 00:00:07,050These ones were reviewed.
Why it matters
A subtitle file is only as good as its timings. Automatically generated SRT files usually fail the same way: the text is broadly right, but the cues drift, so by the end of the video each line appears a beat after it's spoken.
That happens when timing is estimated for a whole block of text. AutoCap times every word individually, shows those timings on a timeline, and only then writes the file — so what you download is exactly what you reviewed.
What you get
Subtitle files that don't need fixing afterward.
Cues that break where readers expect
Split and merge lines so each cue holds a natural phrase, instead of a sentence chopped at an arbitrary character count.
Accepted almost everywhere
SRT is the most widely supported subtitle format. YouTube, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and most video players take it.
VTT from the same transcript
Need WebVTT for an HTML5 player or a course platform? Export it too — same words, same timings.
Burn it in as well
Use the same transcript to export an MP4 with styled captions rendered into the video for social platforms.
Standard formatting
Numbered cues and HH:MM:SS,mmm timestamps in a UTF-8 text file, so it imports without surprises.
How it works
Make an SRT file in four steps.
- 01
Upload the video
MP4 or MOV, straight from your phone or editing software. Just its audio goes off to be transcribed.
- 02
Check the words
Correct names and terms and fix anything misheard, with the video playing alongside so every line is checked in context.
- 03
Shape the cues
Split or merge lines so each subtitle reads naturally, and nudge any timing that's early or late.
- 04
Download the SRT
Export the .srt file — or a .vtt, or both — and upload it wherever your video lives.
What's inside an SRT file?
SRT, short for SubRip Subtitle, is plain text. Each subtitle — called a cue — has a sequence number, a start and end time, and one or two lines of text, followed by a blank line.
Timestamps run hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds, with a comma before the milliseconds. That comma is one of the small details that separates SRT from WebVTT, which uses a period and starts with a WEBVTT header.

Where to use your SRT file
SRT carries no styling, so each platform shows it in its own caption style — and viewers can usually switch it on or off, which is exactly what makes it a closed caption.
- YouTube Studio — upload it as a subtitle file with timing
- LinkedIn — add it as a caption file when you post a video
- Vimeo — upload it in the video's subtitles and captions settings
- Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve — import it onto a captions or subtitle track
- Desktop players such as VLC — keep it beside the video with the same file name
Already have subtitles that need fixing?
If you have a subtitle file that's in the wrong format or out of sync, you don't need to regenerate it. The free tools convert between SRT and VTT and shift every timing at once — and they run entirely in your browser.
Questions
Good to know.
Is SRT export free?
SRT and VTT downloads are included on every paid plan, from $9 / €9 a month. The free plan lets you transcribe, edit and export captioned videos with a watermark. If you already have a subtitle file, the SRT and VTT converters are free for everyone.
Can I edit the subtitles before downloading the SRT?
Yes — that's the point. Every word and timing is editable, and the SRT is written from your edited version.
What's the difference between SRT and VTT?
Both are plain-text subtitle formats. SRT is the most widely accepted and carries no styling; WebVTT is the web standard used by HTML5 video players and supports positioning and styling. AutoCap exports both from the same transcript.
Will my SRT work in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve?
Yes. Both import SRT files onto a captions or subtitle track, where you can restyle and reposition them.
Does the SRT include word-level timing?
No — the SRT format only times whole cues. AutoCap uses its word-level timing to place each cue's start and end precisely, then writes standard cues any player can read.
Try it on the next video you post.
The free plan needs no card. Upload a clip, check the captions yourself, and only upgrade when you want the watermark gone.
