Batch video subtitles in 110+ languages on desktop

Use a queue when your work spans several videos

A folder of episodes, lecture recordings or interviews benefits from a persistent list of tasks. The desktop app keeps that list locally, prepares audio in the background and saves subtitle files to the chosen destination. You can see which videos are waiting, extracting, uploading, processing or ready to save instead of keeping several browser tabs organized by hand.

The queue is associated with your signed-in account. Changing accounts does not show another person’s local task records. Signing out pauses local activity and removes the device’s login tokens, while cloud tasks already submitted may continue. If you want those cloud tasks stopped as well, cancel them before signing out rather than assuming that closing the interface cancels server processing.

Choose files and verify the audio selection

Add individual videos or select a folder, then review the detected media. Containers can have different stream layouts even within one series. Original dialogue, dubs and commentary may appear in different positions from one file to the next. Inspect unfamiliar inputs and use the short local audition to check which voices will be transcribed.

Keep source videos available in their original locations while extraction is pending. Moving a folder to another drive or replacing a file can interrupt processing. The local media engine streams input from disk and writes compressed audio, so large movies do not have to fit entirely into memory. Sufficient free space remains necessary for prepared audio, subtitle outputs and normal operating-system work.

Review each target and the combined price

Choose one or more subtitle targets from the 110+ language menu. Every target language is a separate task, even when the source video is the same. For example, a 90-minute recording translated into English and Spanish represents two tasks at $1.50 each. Original and bilingual variants of a completed target task are download choices, not additional target-language purchases.

Desktop processing creates full subtitles directly. Use the website when you want the trial preview first. Before starting, the desktop app shows an estimated total and temporary balance hold, including a small duration margin. Final settlement uses the measured duration, with excess reservation returned to the balance. Add enough credit for the selected work and confirm immediate processing before the queue starts.

Let local preparation and cloud work progress at different speeds

Extraction, upload and subtitle generation are separate stages. The desktop queue limits simultaneous local work so that prepared audio does not grow without bound. Uploads use chunks and can resume from the server’s saved position after an interruption. A temporary connection problem should not require restarting the entire audio upload while the prepared audio remains available.

Pause local work when you need the computer’s resources, then resume later. Pausing extraction or upload does not necessarily stop a cloud task that has already been submitted. Tasks waiting for additional credit show that state explicitly and can continue when the balance becomes sufficient. Review an error before repeatedly retrying a file with an unsupported or damaged soundtrack.

Save results where your player will find them

Choose SRT, VTT or ASS and decide whether to save bilingual text or separate original and translated files. The default workflow places subtitles beside the videos, and you can choose another output folder when that is more convenient. Make sure the destination is writable, especially when the sources are on a removable drive or a read-only network location.

The collision policy controls what happens when a subtitle already exists. Keep both with a new name when preserving versions matters, skip a file you intentionally want to retain, or choose replacement when you have decided to overwrite it. Multiple targets use language-aware naming to keep results distinguishable. Inspect one completed folder before letting a large batch become your final delivery.

Export subtitle files in batches or burn subtitles into video

Select completed tasks and choose “Export subtitles” to save separate SRT, VTT or ASS subtitle files. Or choose “Write subtitles to video” above the list, then “Burn in subtitles” in the dialog to burn subtitles directly into your videos. There is no need to export subtitle files manually and import them into another tool first.

Before exporting video, choose the subtitle content and export method. For burn-in or embedded formats that support styling, apply one style or keep each task’s saved style. Save new files by default, or choose to replace the originals where supported. Check the save mode and file list before starting. Failed exports can be retried individually.

Keep an account record and a recoverable local workflow

The website and desktop app share the same balance, completed subtitle records and payment history. You can open the account page for receipts, invoices and connected devices. Revoke an unfamiliar device there. The desktop queue keeps enough task state to resume interrupted local activity, while login secrets belong in the operating system’s credential store rather than ordinary queue records.

Official installers and updates are released through the download page after signing checks. Install an update when local work is idle, and keep your source files until the batch is complete. Automatic generation still deserves a final review of timing, names and important statements. A queue reduces repetitive handling; it does not replace the judgment needed to publish an accurate, readable subtitle.
