Upload a video, get an SRT subtitle file

Tutorials, interviews, talks, vlogs. Upload the video, export an SRT subtitle file, and fine-tune it on YouTube or in your editor. Taiwanese Hokkien videos get Mandarin subtitles.

How it works

Upload an MP4, MOV or other video. Only the audio is kept for recognition, so there's nothing to convert first.

When it's done, fix any typos on the site as you listen, then export the SRT.

Upload the SRT to YouTube as captions, or import it into most video editors.

Mandarin subtitles for Hokkien videos

For a Hokkien video, choose “Taiwanese Hokkien”. The subtitles are in Mandarin, so viewers who don't speak Hokkien can follow along.

Good to know

  • Subtitles follow the spoken passages, so some are long. Split the long ones in your editor before publishing.
  • Each subtitle starts with the speaker's name (like “Speaker 1: ”). If you don't want it, remove it with find and replace in your editor.
  • Timings follow the spoken passages and line up roughly; fine-tune them in your editor if you need precision.
  • Loud background music and overlapping speech cause more mistakes.

Can it burn the subtitles into the video?

Azhu only produces the SRT file. Use a video editor to burn subtitles into the picture.

Can it translate the subtitles into English?

Not at the moment. Subtitles are in the spoken language, with Hokkien written as Mandarin.

How long can a video be?

The maximum length of one recording depends on your plan; subscriptions allow longer recordings. See the pricing page.
