The problem it solves

Typing out subtitles by hand for every video or podcast episode is tedious and takes far longer than making the content itself. Small timing mistakes make subtitles hard to read, and outsourcing the work costs money and time you'd rather spend elsewhere. You just want a clean subtitle file you can drop into your editor.

Who it fits

Content creators, video editors, and social media managers who publish audio or video regularly.

How it works

  1. An audio file is uploaded through a simple online form
  2. OpenAI Whisper transcribes the audio into text
  3. The text is split into readable subtitle lines
  4. A downloadable subtitle file is generated
  5. A completion message confirms the file is ready to download
What you get

Videos ready to publish with captions

You upload an audio file and get back a subtitle file you can drop straight into your video editor.

What you get

A downloadable, correctly formatted subtitle file for the uploaded audio.

What you need

An OpenAI API key with access to the Whisper model.

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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
