Small tools for the work around a transcript.
Every tool on this page runs on your own computer: the file or the text never leaves the browser, and no account is needed. Each one opens in its own page, so you can keep it open next to your editor.
Strips “um”, “uh”, “you know” and the other fillers from a transcript, with a word count before and after. Runs on the text you paste, in the browser.
Check the reading speed of subtitles
Reads an SRT or a VTT file and marks the cues that are too fast, too short, too long or overlapping, with the characters per second of every line.
Turns a word count into speaking time and back, at three measured paces of English speech: 110, 160 and 195 words per minute.
Converts a WebVTT file into a SubRip file: the cues are numbered, the timecodes are rewritten and the header is dropped. The other way round is SRT to VTT.
From a recording to a subtitle file.
- 1 · Get the text
- Transcribe the recording — our own engine returns timed segments, and the same transcript is exported to TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT, CSV or DOCX.
- 2 · Clean it
- Remove the filler words from the transcript, so the text reads like a person talking.
- 3 · Fit the subtitle
- Check the length of the line against the pace you speak at, then read the subtitle file to see whether the viewer can follow the speed.
- 4 · Convert the format
- Convert VTT to SRT when the player or the platform asks for the SubRip format.
