How do I generate subtitles for my video for free?+
Upload your video to FixTheFile and select "Transcribe speech". You'll get an accurate text transcript of the spoken audio, which you can use as subtitles.
Does this give me a subtitle file format like SRT?+
FixTheFile currently outputs plain text. You may need to format the timing manually or use a separate tool to convert it into a timed subtitle file like SRT.
Why do videos need subtitles?+
Subtitles improve accessibility for deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers, and on social media, captioned videos are often watched longer since many people watch with sound off.
Can I transcribe just the audio if my video is large?+
Yes — use FixTheFile's "Extract audio from video" tool first to pull out just the audio track, which can make the file smaller and faster to process.
Does this work for videos in other languages?+
Yes — FixTheFile's transcription supports most languages, not just English.
