Caption Generator
Turn typed text into timed subtitle files, in 5 languages.
Caption Generator turns plain text into properly timed subtitle files — no audio needed. Each line you type becomes one timed caption, paced by an adjustable reading-speed estimate, and exports as SRT, WebVTT, or styled ASS. Supports English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam, each with 10 real fonts to preview and choose from — the ASS export embeds your chosen font directly in the file.

SRT/VTT don't carry font info — only the ASS export embeds this font choice.
⚠ Your video editor needs this font installed on your computer to render it correctly — the subtitle file only stores the font's name, not the font itself. Download & install Inter →

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an audio file?+
No — this tool times captions purely from text using an adjustable reading-speed estimate. For captions timed exactly to existing audio, use Speech to Text instead.
Why doesn't my font show up in the SRT file?+
SRT and WebVTT have no real font field at all — that's a format limitation, not a bug. Only the ASS/SSA export embeds the font name, since that's the format actually designed for styled subtitles.
Which video editors support ASS files?+
Most major editors and players that support styled subtitles (e.g. Aegisub-based workflows, many NLEs via plugins) read ASS/SSA's font and style data — check your specific editor's subtitle import options.
