Subtitles & Translation

One video. Every language you ship in.

Subtitle it once, translate it into as many languages as you need, style the captions the way your channel styles them, and export the file — or the video with the subtitles burned in.

If you ship the same video more than once, this is for you.

Four teams, four kinds of video, one problem — the second language costs more than the first.

Modules & lessons

Course & training teams

The same lesson ships in six languages, and the captions have to look like your course, not a default.

Episodes & shorts

Podcast & video creators

You want the subtitle file, the video with captions burned in, and the description written.

Campaigns & films

Marketing & brand

Product names have to survive the translation, and the caption has to sit inside the brand's type.

Interviews & archive

Media & publishers

You deliver bilingual subtitle files to a house spec, and somebody downstream has to conform them.

Nine reasons this beats subtitling it twice.

Not a feature list — the things that decide whether the second language costs you a day or a click.

Bring it in from anywhere

  • Upload or paste a linkMP4, MOV, M4A or MP3 — or a YouTube, Instagram or Facebook URL.
  • Record in the browserCapture the screen or your voice with no other software installed.
  • Bring subtitles you haveImport an .srt or .vtt and translate from that instead.
  • Reuse a transcriptSwitch a finished transcription to subtitles, at no extra cost.

Every language in one pass

  • Pick them all up frontChoose as many targets as you need before processing starts. 95+ to pick from.
  • One track per languageEach becomes its own subtitle track you can open, edit and export on its own.
  • The source stays the truthA fix upstream flows into every translation instead of being redone by hand.
  • Add a language laterOnly the new track is processed; the finished ones stay untouched.

Your names survive translation

  • Mark a term universalIt comes back spelled that way in every track, not translated into something else.
  • Or pin it per languageWhen a market really does use another name, set that rendering just for it.
  • A workspace glossaryApplies automatically by language, on every project you start.
  • Import or extractLoad terms from CSV or XLSX, or let the AI pull candidates out of a PDF.

Captions that look like you

  • Two caption stylesOutline and shadow, or a background box with its own opacity.
  • Styled per trackPrimary and secondary styled separately, so bilingual subtitles stay readable.
  • Adaptive font sizeLong lines stay inside the frame instead of running off the edge.
  • Previewed on the frameFont, size, colour, alignment and margin, shown on the real still as you set them.

Burn it in, up to 4K

  • Up to 4K720P, 1080P, 2K or 4K, with the subtitle style exactly as you set it.
  • Bilingual burn-inPrimary and secondary stacked on one frame, each styled separately.
  • Your watermark, or noneHide the default one entirely, or replace it with your own.
  • Renders in the backgroundKeep editing; the job uses a snapshot from when you pressed render.

Proofread before anyone reads

  • A score out of 100Suggestions sorted by kind, usually in ten to thirty seconds.
  • Approve by groupApply the groups you agree with; everything else is left exactly as it was.
  • Timings never moveLine breaks and punctuation get fixed without the cues shifting underneath.
  • Entirely optionalNothing is applied until you press the button. Skip it if you would rather.

Chapters and copy come with it

  • Chapter markersReal timestamps, ready to paste under the upload.
  • Description and tagsSEO tags, the best pull quotes, or a blog draft off the same transcript.
  • Translated summariesThe second market gets more than translated captions.
  • Always citedEvery answer points back at the cue it came from, so you can check it.

Hallucinated lines get caught, not shipped

  • Two detectors, not oneSilence-aware and engine-side checks run on every chunk, so invented text is flagged where it happens.
  • Automatically re-runA flagged segment goes back through a different engine instead of landing in your file.
  • Silence stays silentA pause is a pause, not a sentence the model imagined.

The file the platform asks for

  • SRT or VTT per languageTimed against the cut you just approved.
  • Readable formatsTXT, DOCX or Markdown when somebody needs to read it, not play it.
  • One ZIPThe original and every translation draft inside, for handing to a reviewer.
  • Timestamps your wayIn or out, with a blank line between cues if that is the format you need.

And the rest of it.

None of these are the reason to switch, but every one of them is there when the delivery spec asks for it.

Questions people askbefore they hand over a video

An uploaded file, a link, a screen recording, or a voice recording made in the browser. If you already have a subtitle file, upload the .srt or .vtt and translate from that.

Pick as many as you need before processing — 95+ are available, including Cantonese. The free plan runs up to three at a time; paid plans are unlimited.

Yes. Font, size, text, background and outline colour, outline-and-shadow or background-box, alignment, bottom margin, opacity and adaptive sizing — set per track, so a bilingual pair can be styled differently.

Yes, as a real render at 720P, 1080P, 2K or 4K, single or bilingual, with the default watermark hidden or replaced by yours. The free plan renders the first five minutes.

Before processing: put it in the glossary, or attach a background pack so the engine reads your script first. After: fix it once with find and replace across every cue, then run Polish over the result.

It is not a video editor — no cuts, no colour, no dubbing or synthetic voice. And it will not rescue a bad recording: a phone on a table in a loud room is still a phone on a table in a loud room.
