Scribe

Subtitles in +100 languages, transcribed on our servers.

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 France.

Videas Scribe subtitle editor with timeline, waveform and multilingual track selector

How to subtitle a video quickly?

  1. 1. Import your file

    Upload a video or audio file, or select one directly from your Mediasbox library. Videas Scribe supports all common formats: MP4, MOV, MKV, MP3, WAV and more. The AI automatically detects the spoken language.

  2. 2. Generate automatically

    Videas Scribe analyzes the audio track using AI running on Videas infrastructure and generates synchronized subtitles with proper punctuation, capitalization and speaker detection. Add translations to other languages if needed — all from the same interface.

  3. 3. Edit & export

    Fine-tune in the dedicated timeline editor with waveform display, keyboard shortcuts and segment merge/split for precise timing. Then export (SRT, VTT, TXT, DOCX) or publish subtitles directly to your Channel or Pages — they appear instantly in the player.

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.


How much do subtitles cost?

  • €0.10

    per minute of video, per language generated

  • €3

    for ten minutes subtitled in three languages

  • €5

    of credits free every month, no subscription

Subtitles are paid per minute generated, not by subscription: a ten-minute video comes to €1 in one language, €3 in three. The rate covers generation — the editor, the SRT, VTT, TXT and DOCX exports and publishing to the player cost nothing extra. You receive €5 of credits on sign-up, then €5 every month.

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.

What accuracy can I expect?

It depends on the audio. A decent microphone and little background noise give a transcript you proofread quickly; an outdoor recording, a strong accent or specialist vocabulary need more fixing. Proper nouns are the constant weak point — which is exactly what the glossary settles, before generation rather than after.

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 France. 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.
