What inputs are supported right now?

The current workflow supports YouTube, TikTok, BiliBili, Apple Podcasts, and local video/audio uploads.

What does the result page include?

The result page includes source transcript, translation, bilingual subtitles, subtitle export views, and export files.

Can I leave the page after creating a task?

Yes. Subtitle tasks keep running in the background queue, so you can come back when the result is ready.

Do I still keep the source text when the target language is English?

Yes. The source transcript stays intact, and translated plus bilingual views are generated for the selected target language.

What export formats are available?

You can export SRT, VTT, and ASS subtitles plus a TXT transcript, Markdown, and JSON, with matching export files for the source, translation, and bilingual views.

Can the exported SRT be imported into CapCut, Premiere, or Final Cut Pro?

Yes. SnapVee exports standard SRT / VTT that works with CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and other major editors — import and the timing aligns to your timeline automatically, and bilingual subtitles can be imported as two separate tracks.

Are there limits for local uploads?

Upload up to 3 local video or audio files at once. Each file can be up to 2GB and 120 minutes.

What should I do if a task fails?

You can start the task again from the list. First check that the link is publicly accessible, the file is intact, and the selected target language is correct.

Turn videos and podcasts into ready-to-edit subtitles

Paste a public link or upload a local video or audio file to auto-generate timestamped subtitles and translation.

Inside the workspace

This is what the transcript looks like

Player on the left to check the timing, editable segments on the right, and a waveform timeline underneath — you fix the line breaks before anything gets exported.

Source, translation, bilingual: Switch between them in the same document; the timings stay put.
Every segment editable: Fix a typo, merge two lines, nudge a timestamp — no editor needed.
SRT / VTT / TXT: Export and go, or hand the text straight to summary and formatting.

Automatic AI speech recognition for accurate video-to-subtitle

Focused on intake, transcription, translation, bilingual review, and subtitle exports.

Subtitle pipeline

Automate source intake through transcript delivery so teams only step in where judgment is actually needed.

Multi-source intake

Send platform URLs and local media through the same subtitle entry point and queue model.

Fast background runtime

Heavy download, transcription, translation, and export preparation steps stay in workers so the page remains responsive.

STEP 01

Link intake or local upload

YouTube, TikTok, BiliBili, and podcast platforms reuse the existing media path, while local files go straight into the queue.

STEP 02

Timestamped source transcription

Prefer platform captions when available, then fall back to audio transcription automatically.

STEP 03

Translation and bilingual subtitles

Translate segment by segment while preserving timestamps for direct SRT export.

STEP 04

Export file preparation

Prepare downloadable subtitle export files from the source, translated, and bilingual views.

Side by side

SnapVee vs. the transcription tools you already tried

How a subtitle workspace that lives in the browser compares with an editing suite (Descript), a meeting recorder (Otter.ai) and in-timeline auto-captions (CapCut).

What matters	SnapVee	Descript	Otter.ai	CapCut
Getting started	Paste a link or upload a file in the browser	Install the desktop editor, then import	Join a meeting or upload a recording	Work inside an editing timeline
Best input	Public video and podcast links, plus local audio and video	Footage you recorded yourself	Live meetings and voice notes	Clips you are already editing
Subtitle output	Timestamped SRT / VTT — source, translation or bilingual	Transcript and captions tied to the project	Transcript and meeting notes first	Burned-in captions, subtitle files on export
Translation	Segment by segment with timestamps kept, bilingual SRT in one click	Available on higher plans	English-first	Auto-translate for supported languages
After the transcript	Summary, chapters, breakdown, social formatting — same place	Keep editing in the same suite	Meeting summaries and action items	Keep editing, then publish

Compared against each product's publicly observable behaviour, checked August 2026. For full podcast and video editing Descript is still the more complete suite, for live meeting notes Otter.ai remains the natural pick, and for restyling captions directly on a timeline CapCut is faster.

User feedback

★★★★★

“We used to transcribe podcast episodes, re-segment them, and rebuild subtitles by hand. Now the timestamped source and bilingual lines are ready in one pass.”

Daniel Brooks

Podcast Producer · Northwave Media

★★★★★

“For course recordings, export cleanup used to be the slowest part. Getting SRT and bilingual review together removes a full post-production step.”

Elena Fischer

Course Producer · Brightpath Learning

★★★★★

“For multilingual interviews, I no longer split transcription, translation, and subtitle QA across three tools. Reviewing everything on one timeline is much faster.”

Marcus Reid

Content Editor · Meridian Studio

★★★★★

“Our team localizes short-form video. We used to time-align subtitles by hand; now a link comes in, bilingual subtitles come out, and we export SRT straight to burn-in.”

Chloé Bennett

Localization Lead · Loomwave

★★★★★

“We batch-transcribe subtitles for dozens of lessons at once, with timestamps we can edit in place. Far faster than outsourcing captions like before.”

Aaron Walsh

Head of Learning · Lumina Academy

★★★★★

“For translating foreign-media interviews, source and translation sit on one timeline, so quoting and fact-checking no longer means jumping between windows.”

Translation Lead · Continuum Press
