Generate SRT Subtitles from MP4
Captions boost watch time and accessibility, but typing them is miserable. Upload your MP4, let the AI transcribe and time every line, tweak anything that needs it, and download an SRT that drops straight into Premiere, CapCut or YouTube Studio.

Frequently asked questions
Will the subtitles work in my video editor?
Yes — SRT is the most widely supported subtitle format there is. The files ScribeToAny generates import cleanly into Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve and iMovie, and upload directly to YouTube Studio, Vimeo and most social platforms. Timestamps come from the actual speech in your MP4, so captions land on cue without manual adjustment.
Can it subtitle videos in other languages?
Yes — about 98 languages are supported with automatic detection, so Spanish, Japanese or Arabic footage subtitles as easily as English. You can also transcribe straight into English from any source language when you need English captions for foreign-language video. For fully translated subtitles in other languages, export the transcript and translate it with the built-in AI assist.
How do I keep captions readable?
Segments are cut at natural speech pauses, which keeps each caption to a comfortable one-to-two lines instead of a wall of text. Before exporting you can edit wording, delete segments or tighten phrasing in the browser — the SRT regenerates from your edits. If a caption still feels long, shortening that segment is a one-click fix.
