Use cases.

Automatic YouTube captions in another language

Upload a Hindi video, get an English SRT that you paste into YouTube Studio → Subtitles → Add Language. YouTube's own auto-caption doesn't cross the language barrier — ours does.

Instagram Reels & TikTok subtitles

Reels perform better with burnt-in text because 80% of viewers watch on mute. Render the subtitled MP4 in LinguaSub, upload it directly.

Corporate training localised

Turn a Hindi onboarding video into English, Chinese, or French for global teams — batch through by re-running with different target languages.

Documentary & film festival subs

Feature-length Indian films can be transcribed and translated in one pass, then hand-polished in the editor before festival submission.

Podcast to text

Even without video, automatic subtitle translation gives you a translated transcript you can turn into blog posts, newsletters, or show notes.

Frequently asked

Questions we get a lot.

What does 'automatic subtitle translator' actually mean?+

You upload media in one language. Software transcribes it into text with timestamps, translates each line into your target language, and outputs a subtitle file (SRT/VTT) or a video with the subtitles burned into the frame. No manual typing.

How does LinguaSub differ from Google Translate on YouTube?+

YouTube's built-in captions are language-locked — they show the original language only. Google Translate on top of that is literal, robotic, and misses tone. LinguaSub is a purpose-built tool: it uses a subtitle-specific translation prompt, gives you an editor, and exports finished files ready to publish.

Do I need special software installed?+

No. Everything runs in the browser. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Brave — all work. Mobile browsers work too but a laptop is easier for editing.

How accurate is automatic subtitle translation?+

For clean audio in major languages: 90–95% accurate at the transcription step, 85–92% accurate at the translation step. LinguaSub's editor is designed for that last 5–15% — you pause the video on any imperfect segment and fix it in-place.

Can I automate this for many videos?+

The web UI is one-at-a-time today. A REST API for batch processing is on the Studio and Agency roadmap.

Which languages does LinguaSub cover?+

21 total, any-to-any: Hindi, Bhojpuri, Magahi, Awadhi, Urdu, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Malayalam, Gujarati, Punjabi, English, Chinese, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Marathi, Spanish, Korean, Italian.
