Frequently asked questions
Are the subtitle timestamps accurate?
Yes. The AI produces phrase-level timestamps, formatted into standard SRT and VTT cues that line up with the speech.
Can I upload the SRT file to YouTube?
Yes. Download the .srt and upload it in YouTube Studio under Subtitles. VTT works for HTML5 video players and most web platforms.
Can I edit the subtitles?
Yes. The output is shown in an editable text box, so tweak the wording before downloading, or edit the .srt in any text editor.
