Get started ->
Import your video file into Descript by dropping it into a new project or uploading it via a YouTube video link. Wait a few seconds while we automatically transcribe your audio into text in the language of your choice and assign a speaker label to each voice.
Correct any errors in the transcript using Correct mode (press C), or use the Remove filler words action to remove repetition and words like "um" or "like". If you want to add embedded subtitles to your video, click Captions and choose a style or template.
Preview your video to ensure that the subtitles are correctly timed. When you're ready, go to Publish to export your newly subtitled video, or download a standalone subtitle file in SRT or VTT to upload with your video.
Embedded video subtitles in any style
Add hard subtitles to any video in the colors, fonts, and styles you choose. Perfect for enhancing accessibility, engaging diverse audiences, or emphasizing key points. No more tedious manual editing—implement stylish subtitles that keep viewers watching longer, increasing your engagement and reach on social media.
