Get SubTitan AI on Google Play

SubTitan AI on two phones: an editor with timed captions over a mountain sunset, and a lyric video. AI captions and lyric videos, 99 languages, on-device, 24 styles.

How to add auto captions to a video

  1. Pick a video or a song

    Open SubTitan AI and choose a clip from your gallery, record one, or pick an MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC or FLAC song.

  2. Let it hear the language

    Before any big download it listens to a few parts of the opening, just the vocals for songs, so a music intro can't fool it.

  3. Pick a style and export

    AI writes word-by-word captions. Choose one of 24 styles, check the text and export an MP4 video or an SRT subtitle file.

Inside the app

Everything for captions in one app

SubTitan AI is an Android app that writes word-by-word captions and subtitles for your videos with on-device speech recognition in 99 languages. It styles them with 24 animated caption styles, turns songs into synced lyric videos, and exports MP4 videos or SRT, VTT, ASS, LRC and TXT subtitle files.

Captions with on-device AI

  • Speech recognition runs on your phone, with word-level timing.
  • 99 languages, offline after a one-time model download.
  • A close call between languages? The likely ones appear as one-tap choices.
  • Languages with their own trained model get it automatically: Sinhala writes real Sinhala script (සිංහල), not English letters.

Lyric videos, synced for you

  • The AI writes the lyrics, or paste your own and every word syncs to the song.
  • A vocal-focus filter helps the AI hear the singer.
  • Big centred lines over 4 drawn scenes, 8 gradients or your photo.

24 caption styles

  • 11 free and 13 Pro styles, sorted by kind: Viral, Clean, Lyrics, Talk and story.
  • Word highlights: colour, box, karaoke, reveal, underline and glow.
  • Animations: fade, pop, slide, bounce, zoom, drop, beat and stamp.
  • Drag captions anywhere and pinch to resize. What you see is what you export.

  • Trim, cut sections and change speed.
  • Filters (some Pro), plus brightness, contrast, saturation and warmth.
  • Background music with volume and fades, titles and text layers.
  • Find and replace, shift timing, tap-to-sync, split, merge, undo and redo.

Long videos and podcasts

  • Processed in parts and resumed where they left off.
  • Keeps working in the background, with a progress notification.
  • Downloads resume, and big ones ask first on mobile data.

  • MP4 with burned-in captions. Up to 4K 60 fps with Pro on supported devices, from 4K footage or for lyric videos.
  • Export SRT, VTT, ASS, LRC and TXT. Import SRT, VTT, ASS, LRC or plain text.

Made for every kind of video

Captions in 99 languages

Speech recognition runs on your phone and understands 99 languages, plus Cantonese. It detects the language for you; when it is a close call, the likely languages appear as one-tap choices.

Private by design

  • Your videos stay on your phone. Speech recognition, translation and rendering run on the device. Videos, voice and captions are never uploaded to us.
  • No account, no ads, no tracking. The app has no analytics or advertising tools of its own, and nothing to sign in to.
  • Downloads only when needed. Speech models, caption fonts and translation packs are downloaded the first time a feature needs them. Google's ML Kit, used for translation, sends Google technical diagnostics.
