Questions & answers

Frequently asked

What is the difference between SRT and VTT?

VTT uses dot for milliseconds (00:00:00.000) instead of SRT's comma (00:00:00,000) and supports CSS styling, positioning, and voice spans. Most web platforms accept both.

Does Transcript to VTT upload my transcript?

Your file or text is processed in your browser and is not uploaded.

What does Transcript to VTT create?

It creates WEBVTT subtitle text. Generated timing is approximate because no audio timing is available.

Are generated subtitle timings exact?

Generated timings are approximate unless the source already contains subtitle timing. Review timing before publishing.
