Create SRT Subtitle Files with AI

SRT is the universal subtitle format used by every major video editor and media player. Creating SRT files manually means listening to audio, typing text, and setting precise timestamps frame by frame — a process that takes hours even for short videos. Sozai automates this entirely using AI speech recognition, generating production-ready SRT files in minutes.

What Is an SRT File and Why You Need One

An SRT file contains numbered subtitle entries, each with a start time, end time, and text content. This simple format is supported by Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, VLC, YouTube Studio, and every major platform. Adding SRT subtitles to your videos improves accessibility, SEO, and viewer engagement — studies show subtitled videos get 12% more views.

AI-Powered SRT Generation

Our AI extracts the audio from a YouTube video, identifies the spoken language, detects individual speakers, and generates a word-by-word transcript with precise timestamps. The result is automatically formatted as a standard SRT file ready for download. The AI achieves 96% accuracy across 99 languages.

Free Online SRT File Creator

Sozai generates SRT files completely free with no account required. Paste a YouTube URL, wait for AI processing, and download your SRT file. Speaker labels are included as brackets in each subtitle entry. The generated transcript also gets a permanent URL you can share with your team.
