Documentary subtitles across languages
Documentaries combine narrated voiceover, on-camera interviews, and archival audio of varying quality. Accuracy on names and dates is what gets checked, so plan a review pass.
The timing comes from the audio, so a line lands where it is actually spoken.

What happens to your video
- Upload the file or paste a public link. Phone footage (HEVC/MOV) is read as it comes off the phone.
- The audio is transcribed first, with word-level timing, so every cue starts where speech starts.
- Each line is translated on its own. Timecodes are copied through and never rewritten.
- Download the SRT, or a copy of the video with the subtitles burned in at the original resolution.
Notes on the audio
- Interview audio from another era will need manual fixes.
- Narration transcribes cleanly and is the bulk of the file.
- SRT output makes it easy to hand to an editor for a final read.

Questions
Can it handle several speakers in different languages?
It transcribes what it hears; multiple languages in one file will produce mixed results.
Is there a length limit?
No hard limit, but very long files take a while.
