Most social video is watched on mute - subtitles are what stop the scroll. SoundMadeSeen transcribes your audio with word-level timing, gives you full editing control, and renders the result as animated captions in your video.

Transcribing your audio

On any audio file's page, click Transcribe audio file. Before it starts you choose:

• Language - from 30+ supported languages
• Type of recording - helps accuracy.
• Number of speakers - pick a count (1?10) or leave it as Unknown.

Transcription uses your plan's transcription minutes; if you run out you can buy more from the same screen.

Already have subtitles?

Instead of transcribing, upload an existing .srt or .vtt file - it becomes the transcription, timings and all. If your file covers only part of the audio, set the "transcription starts at" offset.

Editing the transcript

Nothing kills credibility like a misspelled name in your captions. Click any word in the transcript to:

• Edit it - with an optional "replace all instances" for names that were misheard every time.
• Delete it, or split the paragraph at that word.

Paragraphs (utterances) can be edited too: change the text, the speaker, and the start/end timecodes, or merge adjacent paragraphs.

Speakers

Speakers detected in the audio appear as coloured labels. Click one to rename it ("Speaker A" - "Sarah") - the name updates everywhere at once.

Fixing word timing

For frame-perfect sync, open the word timing editor (from the editor's Transcript tool, "Edit word timing"). It shows every word as a chip on the audio waveform:

• Drag a word to move it; drag its edges to adjust start/end times.
• Double-click to edit the text; click an empty spot to add words.
• Phrase bars above the words group them into caption lines ? drag boundaries, move whole phrases, duplicate or delete them.
• Full transport controls: play/pause, seek, zoom, and keyboard shortcuts (Space to play, arrow keys to seek, D to duplicate a phrase).

Click Save timing when you're done - subtitles in the editor update immediately.

Turning the transcript into subtitles

In the video editor, the Subtitles tool adds karaoke-style captions with extensive styling:

• Font, colour, size, bold/italic, and outline or shadow decoration.
• A highlight effect on the word currently being spoken: colour change, underline, strikethrough, background, expand (the word grows), or bounce: each has adjustable intensity and easing.
• Entry/exit animations per caption line (slide from any direction, with adjustable speed).
• A background box with colour, padding, and rounded corners.

Caption line length is up to you: generate subtitle phrases at Very short, Short, Medium, or Long lengths, or whole sentences. You can also edit any phrase individually.

Downloading your transcript

Export the transcript any time as SRT, VTT, or plain text - handy for show notes or uploading captions natively to YouTube.
