Introduction

At SubEasy, we empower you to enhance your video content by adding clear, professional subtitles with ease. Ideal for content creators, educators, and professionals, our platform streamlines your subtitling process, allowing you to focus on delivering your message to a broader audience.

Step 1: Upload Your Video

Prepare the audio or video material of the interview or meeting you need to transcribe. Click “Upload File” to upload your local file, or paste the video link below. Currently, we support links from YouTube, X (Twitter), and TikTok.

Upload and Transcription

Start by uploading your video and selecting the "Start" button. If you have Pro access, enable "Clear + Recognition" for more accurate transcription results.

New users can enjoy a free trial of Clear + Recognition.

Upload Existing Subtitles

If you already have an SRT subtitle file, you can save time by uploading it directly using the "Upload Subtitles" button. This allows you to skip the transcription step and saves transcription credits.

Step 2: Subtitle Reflow

Once the upload and transcription are complete, use our subtitle reflow to reorganize the transcribed text according to the natural speech rhythm. This makes the text easier to read. For English, Chinese, and Japanese videos, Pro users can access the "AI Advanced Reflow" feature for better results.

How to Use

Click "Reflow" and select the desired character limit per segment. Each language has a recommended default character limit, such as 80 characters for English videos.

Step 3: Translation

After reflowing, proceed to translation. SubEasy offers three translation modes:

  • Automated Translation: Free, using Microsoft Translate, but with lower quality.
  • AI Translation: High-quality translation using advanced AI models, recommended for general users, costing 1 credit per minute of video.
  • AI Plus Translation: Superior quality, near-professional translation, recommended for users with high translation quality demands, costing 3 credits per minute of video and taking more time.
