Speech-to-Text Subtitles

Speech to text is an application intended for the purpose of creating subtitles for video files. The application generates automatically a transcription from a video by using speech recognition.

The subtitles are automatically timed and you are able edit the text and timing, if this is needed. We support multiple languages and you can have many subtitle tracks in a media.
