How to convert English speech to text
This English transcription workflow is built for creators, researchers, educators, marketers, and teams that need a fast transcript or subtitle draft without desktop software.

Select English as the spoken language
Use the spoken language dropdown to choose English, or leave detection automatic when the recording may contain mixed context.
Export a English transcript or SRT
Review the editable output, switch between TXT, SRT, and VTT, then download the version that fits your publishing or editing workflow.
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.
