Bring the text into focus

Open an existing SRT, a saved project, or a transcript generated from media. Search the text and edit any line directly. The editor saves your changes locally and keeps cue timing fixed; it is not a timeline retiming or cue-splitting tool.

Review translations deliberately

Compare each translated cue with the original beneath it. When source text changes, existing translations are preserved and marked for review. Keep your chosen wording or explicitly refresh just the affected lines.

Make a clean handoff

Export one selected language or all completed tracks as UTF-8 SRT. Imported SRT numbering and timing are preserved. Check line length, markup and display in the receiving editor or player before publishing; styling and burn-in happen there.

Before you begin.

Can I change subtitle timestamps?

This release preserves the source timing while you edit text. Timeline retiming, splitting and merging are not provided.

Can I edit without a video?

Yes. Imported SRT files can be edited without media. Attach a video if you want playback review.

Will editing a source line overwrite my translations?

No. Affected translations are marked for review. You decide whether to keep or refresh them.

Keep creating.
