SubtitleBee

SubtitleBee is an AI transcriber tool. SubtitleBee automatically transcribes video and audio into synced subtitles in over 120 languages, with an editor for styling, timing, translation, logos, progress bars and social media crops. Exports burn subtitles into video or deliver SRT, ASS, VTT and TXT files.

SubtitleBee is a browser based service that generates subtitles for video and audio using automatic speech recognition. A file (MP4, MOV, WMV, AVI, WebM or audio) or a video link is submitted, the spoken language is selected, and the system produces time coded caption lines that follow the speech. Recognition covers more than 120 languages, and any finished subtitle track can be translated into another language from inside the editor. The output can leave the platform either burned into the picture as MP4, AVI or MOV, or as a standalone SRT, ASS, VTT or TXT file for use in an external video editor. The editor is the part that separates it from a bare transcription service. Font, colour, size, position and opacity can be changed, lines retimed, words corrected, and a logo, progress bar or styled supertitle layered over the footage. A cropping tool reframes the video for vertical and square formats, with the caption layer kept visible after the crop. Because the caption file and the rendered video are separate exports, the same project can serve a YouTube upload and a TikTok cut without redoing the transcription. The natural audience is individual creators and small teams that publish across platforms: YouTubers, social media managers, course instructors, podcasters and marketers producing promotional clips. Accessibiity work is a second use case, since captions serve deaf and hard of hearing viewers. The workflow assumes no editing background, and the homepage positions the product as free to try and install free. Against dedicated captioning suites, SubtitleBee trades depth for convenience: it is a lightweight web editor rather than a full non linear editor, and heavy batch work or tight frame level timing may push teams toward desktop tools. For a single video that needs accurate captions and a clean SRT in minutes, the trade is reasonable. The homepage reports 13.1 million media uploads and 101 billion subtitles created, and states that uploaded content is not shared or sold and can be deleted by the user.
