Drop in a video: the AI detects the language, writes the subtitles with punctuation and separates the speakers. You correct them in a timeline editor, then publish to the player or export as SRT. Transcription runs on our own servers, in the EU.

What Scribe does not do

Scribe writes, it does not speak: a translation gives you a subtitle track, not a dubbed voice. And the AI is not a professional transcriber, on a noisy recording, a strong accent or specialist vocabulary, it gets things wrong. But it does not stay wrong: the glossary teaches it your proper nouns and your brands, and it applies them from the next generation onwards. The rest is yours to proofread in the editor: count on a few minutes per video, never zero.

What the people who subtitle everything say


Frequently asked questions

Which languages do you support?

More than a hundred. Accuracy is best on the most common ones, French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, and the spoken language is detected on import. You then add as many translated tracks as you need, each editable on its own, without running generation again.

How accurate are automatic subtitles?

On clean audio with a single speaker, more than 95% of the words are right. Accuracy drops with background noise, a strong accent, several people talking over each other, or industry jargon. Even at 95%, an hour-long video still carries dozens of errors, and they cluster on proper names: that is exactly what the glossary fixes, before generation. Count on a few minutes of review per video.

Can I edit the generated subtitles?

Yes, that is the point: the AI writes a first pass, you correct it in a timeline editor. Adjust the text, fine-tune the timing to the tenth of a second, merge or split segments, all from the keyboard. The glossary locks in your proper nouns and domain terms before generation, so you stop re-fixing them on every video.

What export formats do you offer?

SRT and VTT for subtitles, TXT and DOCX for the full transcript. Batch export pulls several files at once, which matters when you process a series or a whole library. And if the video stays with Videas you export nothing: subtitles publish straight into the player.

Do you translate the audio, or only the text?

Only the text. Scribe translates your subtitles and your transcript; it does not manufacture a voice, so there is no automatic dubbing. If you already have several audio tracks, the player can offer them to the viewer, but you bring them, Scribe does not generate them.

Can I customize the style of my subtitles?

Yes: font, size, text color, semi-transparent background or drop shadow, and top or bottom placement with adjustable margins. Settings save as reusable presets, so all your videos look alike. The result renders the same on desktop, on mobile and on tablet.

Can I process several videos in a row?

Yes. You queue several files and the AI works through them while you do something else. Batch export then retrieves every subtitle file at once. This is the mode to use for an existing library or a series running to dozens of episodes.

How do I stop Scribe mangling the same words every time?

With the glossary. You enter your company name, your brands, your acronyms and your jargon, Scribe gets them right from the next generation onwards. The most efficient route: generate one language, spot the terms it mangled, add them to the glossary, then run the other languages. For what is already transcribed, find-and-replace fixes every cue at once.

Is my audio data secure and GDPR compliant?

Your audio and your video never leave our servers: transcription is done by Videas, in the EU. Translation and metadata generation send the transcribed text to a provider outside the European Union, with no model training, and both optional. On request, translation can run through a European provider.

Can I try Scribe for free?

Yes. The account is free and you receive €5 of credits on sign-up, then €5 every month, enough to subtitle around fifty minutes of video in one language before spending anything. There is no card to hand over to get started.

What does Scribe do that a transcription tool does not?

It does not stop at the file. A generic tool hands you an SRT you then have to re-import wherever the video lives; here subtitles publish into the player in one click, and the viewer switches language mid-playback. The audio, meanwhile, never leaves our servers.

Can Scribe burn the subtitles into the video?

Yes. From the editor, the export offers an MP4 with the subtitles burned into the picture in the style you set, in H.264 for compatibility or H.265 for a lighter file. One language per file: three languages means three exports. That is the output for social media; in the Videas player, subtitles stay a track the viewer picks. The export tutorial covers the settings.

How is it different from the free subtitling tool?

Same engine, different job. The free subtitling tool handles one file at a time, up to 10 minutes without an account: it is made for a one-off video. Scribe is a team's subtitling software: videos queued up with no length limit, a glossary shared across the whole organization, a review handed to a colleague who needs no account, and subtitles published straight into the player of an entire library.
