Select Japanese as the spoken language

Export a Japanese transcript or SRT
Review the editable output, switch between TXT, SRT, and VTT, then download the version that fits your publishing or editing workflow.
Japanese transcription features
Japanese to text
Convert spoken Japanese into readable text for notes, search, quoting, review, accessibility, and content repurposing.
Japanese to SRT
Generate timed SubRip subtitle drafts from Japanese speech, with cues grouped around punctuation, pauses, and readable subtitle length.
Japanese 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 Japanese recordings are split into ten-minute audio chunks, transcribed in order, and merged back into one continuous timeline.
OpenAI speech recognition
Japanese is in OpenAI's documented supported language list for speech-to-text, making it suitable for production-facing transcription pages.
Benefits of Japanese to text and SRT
Make Japanese media searchable
A Japanese transcript turns spoken content into text that can be searched, indexed, summarized, quoted, and reused across teams.
Create captions faster
Use Japanese 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 Japanese 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.
