Alternatives to Editsub

{"intro": "Editsub brings subtitle editing, timing, translation, format conversion, and transcription into a browser-based workspace. It handles SRT, VTT, SBV, SUB, ASS, and SSA files, exports SRT and VTT, and offers AI translation into more than 100 languages. Its co-pilot can flag and fix reading-speed, timing, overlap, gap, line-length, and transcription issues, while frame-accurate controls, waveform synchronization, real-time preview, and shared project links support detailed work. Local media up to 10 minutes can be transcribed free without logging in.\n\nAnother product may suit you if Editsub’s 10MB subtitle-file limit, 10-minute free transcription window, credit requirements for longer files or translation, or account and browser-session model do not fit. Editsub runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web, with a free plan, Pro at $48 per year, and credit packs.
