SRT generator

SubRip subtitle tool

Generate an SRT file online

Convert spoken audio or video into a timestamped SubRip subtitle file. SceneDub creates transcript text and SRT cues from word-level timing so you can download a caption draft fast.

Unlimited free transcription. Fair use applies

What you get

The result includes editable transcript text plus TXT, SRT, and WebVTT downloads. SRT is useful for YouTube captions, social video editors, course clips, interviews, and dialogue timing notes.

Next audio step

After generating SRT, check line timing with the waveform viewer or record replacement dialogue in the SceneDub Studio.

What does SRT generator do?

Create an SRT subtitle file from spoken audio or video. Each cue contains a sequence number, a start and end time, and text. Use this tool when you have media but no timed captions; use a converter when you already have a VTT file.
