Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are SRT subtitles?
An SRT subtitle file (also known as SubRip or an SRT file) is a plain-text file that makes it possible to add subtitles to a video after it has been produced. It does not include the video you are subtitling. However, it usually includes timecodes to ensure that your subtitles appear at the same time as the audio.
-
How is an SRT subtitle generator beneficial for me?
Using an SRT subtitle generator is essential to the success of your video. An SRT file generator can help increase the viewership of your video content by providing subtitles that allow non-native language speakers, the Deaf, and the hard of hearing a way to engage with your content. An SRT Generator can also help comprehension of your video if you have speakers with thick accents or fast speech. An SRT subtitle generator can also help boost SEO because Google can’t index audio.

Really unique service and definitely fills a need. I do a lot of audio/video interviews and then need to write articles from those interviews. Happy Scribe will save me a lot of time (and pain) in turning the audio to text. Accuracy was about 95% which is excellent!

Excellent transcription software. Highlights anything it feels it might have got wrong but corrections are easily made as the audio is available to play along with the transcript without having to hook up drives etc. Very impressed.

I found it very simple to understand and follow. It generated exactly what I wanted and what I expected. The results were very close to near perfect, word for word.

Happy Scribe saves me so much time. As a journalist, my dream was to have an intern to transcribe my interviews to me - but Happy Scribe answered my prayers instead! And for a reasonable price too. Super happy with it.
