Frequently asked questions

Which subtitle tool should I choose?

Use Text to SRT when you have a script without timing. Use SRT to TXT when you already have captions and want a readable transcript. Use the subtitle workspace to edit cue text and timing, or the YouTube transcript generator to retrieve existing video captions. The file converters are available above.

Does SRT Pilot edit videos or transcribe audio?

No. These tools work with text and subtitle documents. They do not listen to recordings, translate dialogue or modify your video. Start with an existing transcript or subtitle file.

Can I use the tools without an account?

Local file conversion, subtitle editing and exports are free and need no account. YouTube imports require a verified account and have a monthly allowance. Local files stay on your device; YouTube links are sent to our server to retrieve captions.

Where can I report a problem?

Use the Contact page to reach contact@srtpilot.com. Tell us which tool and browser you used, the selected settings and the error message. Use a small fictional example instead of sending confidential subtitles.
