AI forced alignment & time-coding

Stop dragging subtitles manually. Upload your script (TXT) alongside your video. Taption uses forced alignment technology to sync text with real audio waveforms, generating accurate, time-coded SRT subtitles automatically.

One-click translation & bilingual export

Expand your reach globally. After syncing, translate subtitles into 40+ languages and export dual-language SRT files for international audiences or language learning.

Custom styling & burn-in subtitles

Customize fonts, colors, and backgrounds, then burn (hardcode) subtitles directly into MP4 files to ensure consistent playback on Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

Flexible formats: SRT, VTT, TXT & MP4

Import TXT or existing SRT files, then export subtitles as SRT (YouTube), VTT (web players), TXT or PDF for documentation, FCPXML for Final Cut Pro, or burn subtitles directly into an MP4 video.

Security & privacy

Uploaded media and transcripts are used only for subtitle syncing and editing. Files can be deleted at any time—suitable for internal, educational, and sensitive content.

Why import TXT instead of Speech-to-Text?

Manual Syncing: Accurate but takes hours of tedious work.

Standard Speech-to-Text: Fast, but often requires fixing typos and misheard terms.

Taption Auto-Alignment: Your text stays exactly as written—AI focuses only on timing and segmentation.

Frequently asked questions

  • How does TXT to SRT differ from standard auto-captions?

  • What if my text doesn't match the audio exactly?


    Taption can handle small differences such as filler words or minor edits. You can always fine-tune alignment in the editor.

  • Which file formats can I import?


    You can import TXT transcripts and existing SRT subtitle files.

  • What formats can I export?


    Export subtitles as SRT, VTT, or burn them directly into an MP4 video.

  • Can I create bilingual subtitles?


    Yes. After syncing, translate subtitles into another language and export as bilingual SRT or hardcode both languages into the video.

  • Can I use this for free?


    Yes. Taption offers a free trial with auto-alignment and export credits—no credit card required.
