Create subtitles locally without uploading source media to a website. Voice2Sub supports workflows with multiple selected files, lets you choose the spoken language, and exports standard formats such as SRT, VTT and TXT.

Subtitle files, not just local speech recognition

Why a desktop subtitle workflow helps

  • Generate timestamped text from video or audio without uploading media to the website first.
  • Create optional English-only or separate Original + English subtitle files when the workflow needs them.
  • Review generated subtitle files before publishing.
  • Save SRT/VTT for editors, players, platforms or clients.
  • Keep transcript exports available when the same job also needs text.
