What are Subtitles?

Subtitles are text overlays that display dialogue, narration, and other audio content from videos. They help make content accessible to deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers and enable viewers to understand content in foreign languages.

Popular Subtitle Formats

• SRT (SubRip Text): The most widely supported format, simple plain text with timing information
• VTT (WebVTT): Web-based format supporting styling and positioning, perfect for online videos
• ASS/SSA: Advanced format with rich styling options and animations
• SCC: Closed caption format used in broadcast television
• TTML: XML-based format for advanced subtitle features

Why Choose SRT and VTT?

• Universal Support: Compatible with almost all video players and platforms
• Simple Structure: Easy to edit and modify manually if needed
• Small File Size: Minimal storage requirements
• Cross-Platform: Works on web, mobile, desktop, and TV platforms

Smart Detection System

Free SRT uses an intelligent two-step process to extract subtitles from your media files:

Step 1: Check for Embedded Subtitles

• Embedded Subtitle Detection: Our system first scans video files for existing subtitle tracks
• Multiple Language Support: Detects all available subtitle languages in the file
• Format Extraction: Extracts embedded subtitles in their original quality
• Instant Results: If subtitles are found, extraction happens in seconds

Step 2: AI-Powered Audio Conversion

If no embedded subtitles are found, we use advanced AI technology:

• OpenAI Whisper AI: State-of-the-art speech recognition with 99% accuracy
• Audio Extraction: Converts video audio track to speech-to-text
• 50+ Languages: Supports dozens of languages with high accuracy
• Timing Synchronization: Automatically matches text to audio timing
• Quality Processing: Handles background noise and multiple speakers

Why This Approach Works

• Best Quality First: Embedded subtitles are always higher quality than AI-generated ones
• Fallback Option: AI ensures you get subtitles even if none are embedded
• Time Efficient: Embedded extraction is instant, AI processing is optimized
• Universal Coverage: Works with any video or audio file format

Q3 2025 - Enhanced Language Features
