Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between .SRT and .TXT?
.SRT files include numeric counters and millisecond timecodes (e.g. 00:01:23,456 --> 00:01:26,789) used by video players and editing programs to display captions at the right moment. .TXT files contain pure readable text without timestamps, ideal for reading and note taking.
Can I download auto-generated subtitles?
Yes! Both creator-uploaded subtitles and YouTube's automated speech-to-text captions are supported.
How do I add the .SRT file to VLC or media players?
Simply place the .SRT file in the same folder as your video file and give it the same name, or drag-and-drop the .SRT directly into VLC while the video is playing.
Is this service free to use?
Yes, 100% free with unlimited subtitle downloads.
