What is the difference between SRT and VTT?

Both hold timed captions. SRT numbers every cue and uses a comma before the milliseconds (00:00:01,120); VTT starts with a WEBVTT header, uses a full stop (00:00:01.120) and can carry styling. Web video players built on the HTML element need VTT; editing apps and most upload forms take either.

Can the SRT file show who is speaking?

Yes. With speaker labels on, each cue starts with the speaker in brackets, such as [Speaker 1]. Speakers are numbered in the order they first speak, so the person who opens the recording is Speaker 1.

How much does an SRT file cost?

The subtitle file itself is free — you pay for the transcription, at 220 credits per minute of audio (minimum 10 credits per job). The Basic plan's 5,000 free monthly credits cover about 22 minutes, and $1 of pay-as-you-go credit covers about 34 minutes.

Can I get SRT for a YouTube video I don't have the file for?

Yes. Paste the YouTube link into the link box of Speech to Text; AudioPod fetches the audio, transcribes it, and the SRT download works the same as for an upload.

Make SRT subtitles from audio or video

AudioPod turns a recording into an SRT subtitle file: upload the audio or video (or paste a YouTube link), let it transcribe, then download the transcript as .srt — numbered, timestamped cues with speaker names. Transcription costs 220 credits a minute, so the free monthly credits cover about 22 minutes.

The facts

Timestamp format: HH:MM:SS,mmm — a comma before the milliseconds
Cue numbering: Every cue starts with its sequence number (1, 2, 3…)
Header: None — the file starts with the first cue
Speaker names: Written in brackets at the start of each cue — [Speaker 1], [Speaker 2] … numbered in the order they first speak
Styling: None — SRT is plain text, so players use their own caption style
Encoding: UTF-8, so every language and script survives

What AudioPod's .srt looks like

The shape of the first cues of a two-speaker export.
