SRT File Generator
From raw video to a clean, editor-ready subtitle file.
An SRT file is the universal currency of subtitles: a plain-text list of numbered captions with start and end timestamps. Every serious tool accepts it, from Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, and Final Cut to YouTube Studio, LinkedIn, and broadcast workflows. The hard part was never the format. It is getting an accurate transcript with tight timing without typing it yourself.
DesiCaptions AI generates that file for you. Upload video or audio, and the AI produces a timed transcript you can proofread in a built-in editor, then export as SRT with one click. If your pipeline needs WebVTT for the web or ASS for styled rendering, both are one click away from the same transcript, with identical timing.
It is built for Indian creators first, so Hindi and Hinglish speech come out as clean Roman-script text instead of the garbled output generic transcription tools produce.
Why creators use it
Accurate timestamps
Word-level timing rolled up into properly segmented caption blocks: no walls of text, no captions lingering after the speaker moves on.
SRT, VTT, and ASS from one transcript
Export whichever format your workflow needs. Edit the transcript once and every format inherits the corrections.
Handles Hindi and Hinglish
Most SRT generators assume English. This one transcribes Hindi and Hindi-English mixing natively, always in Roman script.
Proofread before you export
The transcript editor shows every caption against the video, so you ship a subtitle file you have actually verified.

What is the difference between SRT, VTT, and ASS?
SRT is the simplest and most widely accepted: text plus timestamps. VTT is the web-native version used by HTML5 video players. ASS carries styling like fonts, colors, and positioning. DesiCaptions AI exports all three from the same transcript.
Which editors accept the exported SRT?
Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, Final Cut Pro, and essentially anything else with a subtitle import, plus platforms like YouTube Studio and LinkedIn.
Can I get a burned-in video instead of a file?
Yes. The same job can export a finished video with styled captions rendered in, using any of 12 templates. Many creators export both: burn-in for social, SRT for the archive.
Is it really free?
The free plan covers videos up to 5 minutes with no credit card, including SRT export. Paid plans raise length limits and monthly minutes.
