Turn any video link into ready-to-use subtitles automatically

Give it a video link and it transcribes the audio and creates a timed subtitle file, saved to Google Drive.

How the work actually flows

The problem it solves

Adding subtitles to your videos by hand means transcribing every word and timing each line to match the audio, which eats up hours you don't have. Skipping subtitles altogether means losing viewers who watch on mute or need accessibility support.

Who it fits

YouTube creators, video editors, and content producers who publish videos regularly.

How it works

  1. You provide a video link to get started
  2. The system downloads the video's audio
  3. ElevenLabs transcribes the speech with accurate timestamps
  4. The transcript is split into readable, properly timed subtitle lines
  5. A finished SRT subtitle file is uploaded to your Google Drive
What you get

Videos ready to publish with subtitles attached

Give it a video link and get back a timed subtitle file saved straight to your Google Drive.

What you get

A ready-to-use, accurately timed SRT subtitle file saved to Google Drive.

What you need

An ElevenLabs account and a Google Drive account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
