How to Add Translated Subtitles to a Video
Want your video accessible in multiple languages? SpeakSwap transcribes the speech, translates it naturally (not literally), and gives you ready-to-use SRT subtitle files. Try a clip free, then pay-as-you-go from $10.
How It Works
Upload video or paste URL
Upload a video file or paste a YouTube URL. SpeakSwap extracts the audio, transcribes the speech, and generates subtitles with precise timestamps automatically.
Choose your target language
Select from 140+ languages. The AI translates subtitles with context awareness — preserving meaning, idioms, and natural phrasing rather than translating word-by-word.
Download translated subtitles
Get your translated SRT file ready to upload to YouTube, Vimeo, or any video platform. Timestamps are preserved so subtitles sync perfectly with the original video.

Both work. You can upload a video file (MP4, MOV, etc.), upload just the audio (MP3, WAV), or paste a YouTube URL. SpeakSwap extracts and processes the audio regardless of the input format.
