    How to make SRT subtitles from MP4

    MP4 is the standard video format: phone videos, screen recordings, and Zoom and Teams meeting recordings are usually MP4 files. Upload a .mp4 file and Scriptivox turns the speech in it into timed SRT subtitles, the format YouTube, Vimeo, VLC, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve all accept.

    1. Upload your MP4 file

      MP4 files come from phone cameras, screen recorders, Zoom's local recordings and video editors. On a phone, pick the video straight from your gallery or Files in the upload box.

    2. Choose the language

      Leave it on auto-detect or pick one of more than 100 languages. Turn on speaker recognition when more than one person talks.

    3. Check the timing and download SRT

      Read every line in the editor, fix any word, then download the .srt file, ready for YouTube, your video editor or your player.
