A proper subtitle editor
Subtitles are generated automatically and adjusted like in professional software.
- Two lines of 42 characters at most, between 1 and 7 seconds, 17 characters per second comfortable and 21 at most.
- It breaks at speaker changes, at the end of sentences, at commas and pauses, and never ends a line on “the” or “of”.
- Adjust the text and timings, with undo and redo.
- Download as SRT or VTT.
Translated into other languages
Add several languages at once; they’re translated in the background.
- The whole sentence is translated and spread across its subtitles, so the meaning isn’t lost.
- Each language keeps the original timings and can be edited in the same editor.
- Download each language as SRT or VTT, or all of them in a ZIP.
Burnt-in video and dubbing
To publish without relying on anyone’s player.
- Create the video with the subtitles burnt in, in the language you choose.
- Dub the audio with a synthetic voice in Spanish, English, French, Italian or Portuguese, with a voice for each speaker.
- Choose whether the original voice is heard underneath, quieter or not at all.

Frequently asked questions
Which languages can I dub into?
Spanish, English, French, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese. Not German, Catalan, Galician or Basque for now.
Does the dubbing imitate each person’s voice?
No. It uses synthetic voices, a different one for each speaker. We don’t clone voices.
Can subtitles be translated into other languages?
Yes. They’re translated sentence by sentence with AI on Edorteam’s servers in the European Union and keep the original timings. You can correct each language by hand.
Do guests need an account for live subtitles?
No. The link is enough. Everyone chooses their language and translation only runs for the languages someone is watching.
