Frequently asked questions

How accurate are the subtitles?

It uses OpenAI's open-weight Whisper model (the same family used by many paid transcription tools), so accuracy is generally strong for clear speech. Background noise, heavy accents, or overlapping speakers can reduce accuracy — always skim the transcript before using it.

Which languages does it support?

The multilingual Whisper model used here supports dozens of languages, including English and Hindi/Hinglish content.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. Audio extraction and transcription both run in your browser. The video and audio never leave your device.

Why does the first run take longer?

The AI model (~280MB) downloads once and is cached by your browser. Later runs on the same device start much faster since it's served from cache.

Auto Subtitle Generator

Generate a timestamped .srt subtitle file for any video using an AI speech-recognition model that runs in your browser.

This tool extracts audio from an uploaded video and transcribes it with an open-weight AI speech-recognition model (Whisper) that runs entirely in your browser, producing a timestamped .srt file ready to upload to YouTube or import into a video editor.
