Frequently Asked Questions

Which AI engine should I use?
Fast mode is the best for English/European languages — over 3,000x real-time on our GPU. Studio Quality is a great default for any language. Highest Accuracy mode is for legal / medical / academic transcription where errors are costly. The Asian Optimized engine is best for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other CJK / Southeast Asian languages.
What languages are supported?
99 total: full coverage of European, Asian, Slavic, Romance, Semitic, and most South Asian / African languages. Auto-detect picks the right engine and language for you.
What are word-level timestamps?
Precise timing for each individual word, useful for karaoke-style subtitles or precise caption sync. Other modes give sentence-level timing.
How fast is the auto-subtitle generator?
Fast mode processes at over 3,000x real-time — a 10-minute video takes less than a second of compute. Studio Quality and Highest Accuracy are slower but still typically finish in seconds for short clips.
How is this different from Submagic, Veed, or Kapwing?
Three things. (1) Free with no watermark for SRT extraction — Submagic ($16/mo) and Veed limit free features behind their paywall. (2) Five AI engines — pick fastest for English, most-accurate for any language, or specialized for Asian languages. Submagic / Veed use a single model. (3) Burn subtitles directly into the video AND extract a portable SRT file — no extra step.
Is this a free alternative to Submagic?
Yes for the auto-caption step. Submagic's value-add is the curated animated caption presets and emoji auto-suggest — if you need those polished social-media-ready captions, check our Animated Captions tool which mimics Submagic's style for free.
