A K-drama, an anime episode, a Spanish interview or a lecture in Hindi: upload the video, our AI writes the subtitles from what is said and you translate them to English in one click. The English subtitles are timed to your own file.
Three steps, no software to install.
Choose the file and the language spoken in it, for example Korean or Japanese. Not sure? Use Multiple languages (auto-detect).
The speech becomes timed subtitles in the original language, so nothing is lost before translation.
Press Translate on the finished job: the Subtitle Translator opens with your file. Choose English (free).
Then download the English SRT and load it in your player, or upload it to YouTube as an English caption track.

The languages people translate from most:
Upload the video as described above: AI subtitles from the speech, then translation to English.
If Chinese, Korean or Japanese subtitles are burned into the video, it is faster and more accurate to read them: Translate hardcoded subtitles turns them into an English SRT.
English subtitles may already exist: search movie subtitles first. If none match your copy, come back and make them from your file.
For a release, a festival or a client, our human-reviewed service has a person check the English subtitles line by line.
The AI first needs to understand the original speech. Choosing the language that is actually spoken gives far better subtitles than letting it guess.
Names of people and places are the most common slips in machine translation. Fix them once in the Subtitle Studio, next to the video.
Keep the original-language SRT too. Learners like to watch with both, and you can translate it into other languages later.
