Checked against the script, 4 of 189 words differed — a 2.1% word error rate, counting "80" written for "eighty" as an error — and all 14 speaker turns were labelled correctly. This was clean speech; noisy recordings and people talking over each other score lower. See the full transcript and how it was scored

Why ScribeToAny

  • Turns pure MP3 audio into synchronized SRT subtitles: ideal for podcast audiograms, lyric videos, and audio-first platforms.
  • Pairs seamlessly with static video backgrounds and waveform visualizers to convert audio shows into engaging social video clips.
  • Cue timing comes from the speech itself, so captions stay aligned with the audio when paired with a video or audiogram.

Frequently asked questions

How precise are the subtitle timestamps?

Timestamps are generated at the segment level with sub-second precision, aligned to the actual speech.

Can I edit captions before exporting?

Yes — fix wording or delete segments in the editor, then export; the SRT reflects your edits.

SRT or VTT — which should I use?

SRT is the universal standard for editors and players; VTT is for web video (HTML5). We export both, so grab whichever your platform needs.

Can I make subtitles for a song or lyric video?

You can try, but singing is much harder than speech: lyrics over loud music are often misheard or skipped, and cue timing follows the vocal only roughly. Spoken audio — podcasts, narration, interviews — gives far better SRTs. For songs, plan to correct the lyrics in the editor.

How are the captions split?

At natural pauses first, then by length: each cue is kept to about 7 seconds and 84 characters (two lines of roughly 42), or about 32 characters for Chinese, Japanese and Korean, with breaks at sentence or clause punctuation where possible.
