From footage to timed captions
Captioning video by hand is slow, and timing each line to the picture is the tedious part. FastScribe removes that step by transcribing the audio and generating the timecodes for you, so the captions already sit in sync when the SRT comes back.
The system reads the audio track inside your video automatically, whether it is a webinar recording, a tutorial, or a talking-head clip. You never have to demux the file or export a separate soundtrack before uploading.
Loading subtitles into your workflow
Most hosting platforms accept an SRT upload next to the video so viewers can switch captions on. Video editors let you import the same file onto a subtitle track, where each cue is already positioned in time and ready to burn in or export.
For web players built on HTML5, export VTT, which is the native caption format there. If you only need the words for show notes or a blog post, TXT gives you the transcript without any timing, and Pro adds DOCX.
Frequently asked questions
Which video formats can I generate subtitles from?
FastScribe works with common video containers such as MP4 and MOV, reading the audio track inside each one, so most screen recordings, phone clips and exported footage are supported.
Will the captions stay in sync with the picture?
Each cue is timed from the transcribed speech, so it tracks the video closely. If a fast section drifts, any editor lets you shift that cue by a fraction of a second.
How long a video can I caption for free?
The free first upload allows ten minutes, a free account up to thirty, and Pro handles video up to five hours, which covers long webinars and recorded sessions in one pass.
