OPTIONAL BILINGUAL CAPTIONS
On supported iOS 18 or later devices, Apple Translation can create bilingual caption layouts on device after the required language resources are available.
LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN
No account, ads, analytics, tracking, or developer cloud. Your media, transcript, projects, and exports stay under your control on the device unless you explicitly share them.
TRY THE CORE WORKFLOW, THEN BUY ONCE
The free tier transcribes media up to five minutes and exports core caption formats. One lifetime Pro purchase removes that duration limit and unlocks every Pro feature. There is no subscription.
FAQ
Does my media leave the device?
Subtitle Artisan does not upload your selected media or transcript to the developer. Initial speech-model and optional language-resource downloads require a network connection.
Which caption files can I export?
The free tier exports SRT, timestamped TXT, and plain TXT. Pro adds VTT, bilingual SRT, and burned-in video when the source and device support those features.
