Text and cue times
An SRT file lists numbered subtitle cues with a start time, end time and the words to display. Capgen builds these cues from the generated transcript.
SRT SUBTITLES
SRT subtitle generator for uploaded videos
Generate timed subtitle text from the audio in your video and download it as an SRT file with Capgen. Use the file in a subtitle editor or another workflow that accepts SubRip subtitles.
YOUR WORKFLOW
Know what is inside your subtitle file
A separate text file
Downloading SRT does not burn captions into the footage. Use the video export when you want the styled words to remain visible in the video itself.
Review before importing
Check names, punctuation, reading speed and timing in a subtitle editor. You can change downloaded text there; Capgen does not currently edit individual transcript words in the studio.
No animated styling
SRT does not carry Capgen fonts, colors, karaoke highlights or motion presets. The destination video player or editor controls how separate subtitles appear.
