    How to make VTT subtitles from WEBM

    WebM is the open video format of the web. Browser screen recorders and many web-based recording tools save WebM files. Upload a .webm file and Scriptivox turns the speech in it into timed WebVTT captions, the subtitle format HTML5 video players and most course platforms use.

    1. Upload your WEBM file

      WebM files come from browser-based screen and webcam recorders, voice recorders in the browser and video downloads. Upload the .webm file as it is.

    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 VTT

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