FLOWPHONIC Turn a recording into an SRT subtitle file
A transcript is useful. A transcript that drops straight into your video as subtitles is better. Flowphonic exports both.
Clean up the transcript, export it as SRT, and import it into your editor or video site. Always skim it first, because timing is partly estimated.
Do this in order
- Open the take's transcript and fix any mistakes. Tap a line to edit it.
- Open the export sheet and choose the transcript.
- Choose the SRT subtitle format, or plain text if you only need the words.
- Share the file to your computer and import it into your editor or upload it with your video.
How the timing is worked out
This is the nerdy bit, and it's useful to know. When the speech recognizer gives word-by-word timing, Flowphonic uses it. When it only knows the second a line started, Flowphonic estimates how long each line should stay on screen from how much text it has, at a comfortable subtitle reading speed, and stops cues overlapping.
So subtitles are usually close, not frame-perfect.
Check before you publish
- Skim the file for names and numbers, which recognition often gets wrong.
- Play it against the video and nudge anything that's off in your editor.
- Keep lines short. If a line runs long, split it.
Plain text too
If you just need the words for notes, an article or a script, export plain text instead.
Quick answers
Can Flowphonic export subtitles?
Yes. The transcript exports as an SRT subtitle file, and as plain text.
Are the SRT times exact?
Often close, not exact. They use word timing when the recognizer provides it and estimates otherwise, so check them against the video.
