Turn German video or audio into English subtitles. The speech is transcribed, then translated into English, and exported as SRT, VTT or plain text with the original timings intact.
Audio in German (Deutsch) is transcribed first, then translated into English (English). Because the translation runs on the transcript rather than on the audio, the English subtitle file keeps the timings of the original German speech — each line appears at the moment it was actually said.
Both languages are written in the Latin alphabet, so the file needs nothing from your player beyond that script.
German is spoken principally in Germany, Austria and Switzerland; English in worldwide. A English subtitle track is what lets one recording reach both audiences without re-recording, re-editing or dubbing it.
Because subtitles are a separate file rather than part of the picture, you can attach several language tracks to the same video and let viewers pick.
German compounds nouns freely, producing long single words that make subtitle lines run wide — shorter blocks help. Swiss and Austrian varieties differ from standard German considerably in speech, and Swiss German especially is a real test of any recogniser.
English has a wider spread of accents than any other language here, and the gap between spelling and pronunciation means recognition leans on context rather than sound alone. Names and technical terms are where errors concentrate, because those are exactly the words context cannot predict.
Four lines of German speech, transcribed and translated, as they come out of the exported SRT. The timings are the German speaker's — translation does not move them, which is why the file drops onto the original video unchanged.
