About AutoSubtitles
AutoSubtitles is a browser-based tool that transcribes the audio of a video into subtitles with AI. Users upload a video, receive captions within seconds, then edit and style them before exporting either a video with burned-in subtitles or separate subtitle files.
The editor lets you change every word, adjust start and end times, and merge or split segments. More than 25 style presets such as Classic, Neon, Karaoke, Street and Corporate give a ready-made look, and you can further customize font, size, color, outline, background, position and alignment. Transcription works in 20+ languages with automatic language detection, and uploads can be MP4, MOV, WebM and similar formats.
AutoSubtitles is a commercial hosted service. The homepage says it is free to start with no signup required, and a pricing section covers paid options. It is built for creators who publish video online.
