Translate an English video into Italian subtitles
English content in a Italian market needs Italian subtitles, and machine captions from the platform rarely produce them cleanly. This does it from the audio, not from YouTube's caption track.
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
- Italian words mostly end in vowels, so connected speech sounds like one long syllable run with no visible word edges.
- The subjunctive is used in ordinary speech and often has no direct English equivalent; a plain tense is the closest available.
- Italian lines sit around 40 characters and break on meaning rather than on punctuation.

Questions
Will the Italian lines be too long for the screen?
Lines are kept short, but Italian usually runs longer than the English source, so a manual pass on line breaks is worth doing. Italian lines sit around 40 characters and break on meaning rather than on punctuation.
Does it use YouTube's auto-captions?
No. It transcribes the audio itself, so it also works for files with no captions at all.
Can I get both languages?
Yes, bilingual output keeps the English line above the Italian one.
