An offline desktop tool that generates, translates, edits, and exports SRT or ASS subtitles from video files.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-07 issue.

Field notes

The described workflow accepts common video containers, detects an existing embedded subtitle track when present, and otherwise runs local speech recognition before alignment and translation. The page lists Whisper models from 75 MB Tiny to 3.0 GB Large v3, with separate memory guidance for Mac and Windows machines. A terminology table is intended to keep names and places consistent across a season, while the editor can play individual subtitle lines and export either SRT or ASS.
