Subtitles for Everyone

Breaking Down Barriers

Millions of videos lack subtitles, making them inaccessible for deaf and hard of hearing viewers. And for language learners, watching content in a foreign language without subtitles can be frustrating and ineffective.

Transkript lets you create subtitles for any video in minutes. Generate captions in the original language for accessibility, or translate them into 34 languages for learning. All processing happens on your device – completely free.

Two Powerful Use Cases

For Deaf & Hard of Hearing Viewers

Create subtitles for any video that doesn't have them. Family videos, online content, local news, educational materials – make them all accessible.

1. Get the video file
   Download the video from the source, or record it from streaming (where legal). MP4, MOV, and M4V formats are supported.
2. Share to Transkript
   Use the Share menu to send the video to Transkript. The app automatically extracts the audio track.
3. Transcribe the audio
   Select the spoken language and start transcription. You'll get precise word-level timing for accurate subtitle sync.
4. Optimize for readability
   Use "Optimize Subtitles" to split long segments into proper 2-line captions. This ensures subtitles are easy to read.
5. Export as SRT or VTT
   Save your subtitles in standard format. SRT works with most players; VTT is great for web.
6. Add to your video player
   Load the subtitle file in VLC, your TV's media player, or merge it with the video. See our guide →

For Language Learners

Watch foreign films, documentaries, or YouTube videos with subtitles in your native language. Or practice reading along in the original language.

1. Find content in your target language
   Download a video in the language you're learning – a movie, documentary, YouTube video, or news clip.
2. Share to Transkript
   Send the video file to Transkript via the Share menu.
3. Transcribe in the original language
   Get subtitles in the original language first. This helps you read along and improve comprehension.
4. Translate to your native language
   Use the "Translate" feature to get subtitles in your language. Timestamps are preserved for perfect sync.
5. Export both versions
   Save both the original and translated subtitles. Use them separately or compare side-by-side.
6. Study with dual subtitles
   Some players (like VLC) can show two subtitle tracks simultaneously – perfect for learning!
