English transcription features

English to text

Convert spoken English into readable text for notes, search, quoting, review, accessibility, and content repurposing.

English to SRT

Generate timed SubRip subtitle drafts from English speech, with cues grouped around punctuation, pauses, and readable subtitle length.

English transcript editing

Open the TXT, SRT, or VTT result in the browser, make corrections, and download the edited transcript without rebuilding the file manually.

Audio and video input

The browser extracts and compresses audio locally from supported media, so video frames do not need to be uploaded for transcription.

Long recording support

Long English recordings are split into ten-minute audio chunks, transcribed in order, and merged back into one continuous timeline.

OpenAI speech recognition

English is in OpenAI's documented supported language list for speech-to-text, making it suitable for production-facing transcription pages.

Benefits of English to text and SRT

Make English media searchable

A English transcript turns spoken content into text that can be searched, indexed, summarized, quoted, and reused across teams.

Create captions faster

Use English to SRT output as a subtitle draft for videos, courses, interviews, social clips, webinars, and internal recordings.

Reduce manual transcription work

Instead of typing every sentence and timestamp by hand, start from an AI-generated English transcript and correct only what matters.

Support multiple publishing formats

Download plain text for documents, SRT for subtitle editors and platforms, or VTT for web video workflows.

Keep the workflow browser-based

No desktop transcription software is required. Upload, transcribe, preview, edit, and export from a modern web browser.

Use one credit model

SubTran uses flexible credits across subtitle translation, transcription, and SRT generation, so occasional and recurring users share one account balance.
