Convert Text to VTT

HTML5 video reads WebVTT and nothing else, so a script sitting in a text file is no use to a <track> element until it has cues and timings. This lays each line out as a cue with a fixed duration you choose and writes a valid .vtt — enough to get captions on screen, then sync from there.

Runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the timings come from?

They are generated, not taken from any audio: each line gets the duration you set, laid end to end from zero. Predictable on purpose — a rule you can hold in your head is easy to correct for, a clever guess is not.

Will the file be valid WebVTT?

Yes. It opens with the WEBVTT header and puts a dot before the milliseconds — the two details browsers reject a file over.

How do I get timings that match the video?

They have to come from the audio. Upload the video to ScribeToAny and it transcribes and times the captions together, then exports VTT, SRT and six other formats.
