Subtitle Viewer
Open a subtitle file — SRT or VTT — and read the captions with their timings laid out.
Seeing what's in a subtitle file
Subtitle files like SRT and VTT are plain text under the hood: numbered captions, each with a start and end time and the words that appear on screen. Opened raw they are a jumble of timecodes; this lays them out cleanly so you can read the captions alongside their timings, check a translation, proofread the text, or find a specific line.
Drop in the subtitle file and the cues are displayed in order.
Why read subtitles outside a video
Pulling the captions out of the video is genuinely useful. You can proofread a subtitle track for typos without scrubbing through the footage, review a translation cue by cue, check the timing values, or lift the transcript of what was said. Because it opens the file directly in your browser, a subtitle track for something private is not uploaded just to be read.
