Translate Subtitles

The hard part of translating subtitles is not the translation — it is keeping the cues where they belong. Paste a whole subtitle file into a generic translator and you get back one blob of prose with the timings gone. ScribeToAny translates cue by cue: each segment goes to the model on its own and the result is written back against the same start and end times. What you download is a subtitle file that drops straight into Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci or YouTube and is already in sync.

Frequently asked questions

Will the translated subtitles stay in sync with my video?

Yes. Translation runs per segment and writes each result back against the timestamp it came from, so the cue boundaries in the translated SRT or VTT are identical to the original. Nothing is merged, split or reordered — the only thing that changes is the text inside each cue.

Can I get bilingual subtitles?

The original transcript and the translation are stored separately against the same job, and both export as subtitle files with matching cue times. Because the timings line up exactly, most editors and players will stack the two tracks correctly, which is the usual way people build a bilingual version.

Can I fix the wording before exporting?

Yes. Every segment stays editable in the browser after the job finishes, and clicking a line replays the matching audio so you can check a phrase against what was actually said. Edit first, then export — the file you download reflects your changes.

Is this an automatic, AI subtitle translator?

Yes. It is an automatic, AI-powered subtitle translator: each cue is translated by a language model and written back against its original timestamp, so you never retype text or re-time cues by hand. Upload or generate subtitles, pick a target language, and export a ready SRT or VTT.

Can I generate subtitles online for free?

Subtitle generation runs online in your browser on every plan, including the free one — 2 transcriptions a day, 100 minutes a month, 30 minutes per file, no credit card. Non-English audio can be turned into English subtitles in the same pass, also on every plan.

Can it translate YouTube subtitles?

Yes. Paste a YouTube link or upload the video, generate subtitles from the audio, then translate them cue by cue into your target language and export SRT or VTT. The timings match the original, so the translated file drops straight back onto the same video.
