## How it works

1.  ### Upload your file

    In Speechyou Notes, select Upload, choose your recording, and select Upload & transcribe.

2.  ### Review the transcript

    Open the finished note and listen for names, technical terms, and changes of speaker. Check those passages again in the exported captions.

3.  ### Export Subtitles (.srt)

    Choose your subtitle format from Export when the transcript contains timed segments. Check the cue timing in your editor or player.

Accepted extensions .mp4, .mov, .webm, .m4v, .mpeg, .mpg

## Export guide

### Create captions from the final video cut

Upload the exact version you intend to publish. Speechyou uses its audio track to build subtitle cues. Changes such as inserting a title card or removing a scene can shift every subsequent cue, so lock the edit before generating captions.

### Review captions in their viewing context

Import the SRT next to the matching video in your editor or platform. Watch for long captions over fast scenes and dialogue that starts just after a cut. You can tune timing and line breaks there before handing off the subtitle file.

### Choose the soundtrack that viewers will hear

Play the exported WebM, MOV, or MP4 outside your editing software. A screen recording can contain system sound while omitting the microphone. A demo can include two language mixes. Upload the version whose dialogue matches the caption track you want to publish.

### Check captions across scene changes

Inspect a cue near a hard cut and one during a quick exchange. Split a long line where the speaker pauses so the words stay readable. If the captions remain selectable in your player, viewers can turn them on or off. To place captions permanently in the picture, render that version in your video editor.

### Review the SRT before a video goes live

-   Check that the finished file contains the intended dialogue track.
-   Preview at least one cue across a scene change and another during quick dialogue.
-   Confirm your destination accepts a separate SRT track.

## Frequently asked questions

Does the video download with captions on it?

Speechyou exports a separate .srt file. Add it as a subtitle track in a supported player or use your editing software to render captions into the picture.

When is SRT available in the Export menu?

The transcript needs timed speech segments. Open the completed transcript and check for the Subtitles (.srt) export option.

Can I fix missed words after exporting the SRT?

Yes. Edit the cue text in a subtitle editor, then preview it against the matching video. Keep the numbered blocks, timing lines, and blank lines between cues.
