Captions land exactly on the speech. I used to spend evenings nudging lines around by hand.

Why Not Just Use Auto-Captions?
Auto-captions miss names, jargon and accents — and you can’t fix them properly. Here every line is editable before it goes live.
Sentences, not a lowercase stream. Readable captions keep viewers watching longer.
One subtitle file becomes versions for every audience — timing preserved, ready for YouTube’s multi-language subtitles.
How to Add Subtitles to a YouTube Video
Three steps, then one upload in YouTube Studio.

Export the SRT (or VTT) and add it in YouTube Studio — done. Repeat per language if you translate.
Subtitles That Grow Your Channel
Reach, retention and accessibility in one file.
From file or link
Work from the source video for best accuracy, or paste the published YouTube URL.
Perfect timing
Lines land exactly on the speech — no drift over long videos.
Multi-language subtitles
Translate into 50+ languages and upload each as a subtitle track — reach beyond your home audience.
YouTube-ready SRT
Standards-compliant SRT/VTT that YouTube Studio accepts without complaints.
Captions Are a Growth Lever
Captioned videos hold viewers longer — especially the majority watching on mute. Better retention signals feed the algorithm, and accurate captions beat auto-generated ones every time.
Add subtitle tracks in the languages your analytics show — Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese — and let one video serve audiences YouTube’s auto-translate never reaches well.

Rated Excellent 4.8/5 based on 580+ reviews
YouTube kept mangling our brand names. Now I fix them once in the editor and upload a clean SRT.
Uploaded a two-hour recording during lunch — the transcript was waiting before I finished my coffee. The accuracy genuinely surprised me.
Our legal team approved it because processing stays on EU infrastructure. That alone ruled out most of the competition.
Captions split where a human would split them. Viewers stopped complaining about walls of text.
Added captions to every short — average watch time rose noticeably within a month.
No card, no tricks — I tested real files before paying and upgraded a week later because the workflow stuck.
Had trouble with a huge file — support walked me through batch upload the same morning. Rare these days.
