In their own words
Checksub
Checksub provides AI-powered subtitles, dubbing, and voice-over for videos through web, API, and extension platforms. It can create subtitles automatically or synchronize subtitles from a script, and it offers subtitle translation in 200 languages. Its dubbing replaces the original voice while keeping the audio background; Checksub also says users can substitute a cloned voice in 30 languages. The online editor lets users revise and regenerate sentences after subtitle or dubbing generation. Subtitles can be burned into exported videos with animated styles, including karaoke animation. Translated-video publishing to YouTube is supported, and the Starter plan connects one channel. Listed integrations include YouTube, Twitch, Google Drive, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro. Credit use varies by task: one credit minute per video minute for subtitles, three for dubbing, and five for lip-sync. The service has a free plan and free trial. Checksub was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in France.
GNOME Subtitles
GNOME Subtitles is a free subtitle editor for the GNOME desktop on Linux. It supports subtitle editing, translation, synchronization, video preview, and the most common text-based subtitle formats, with SRT export. Editing shortcuts include bold, italic, underline, find, find next, find previous, and replace. Video controls cover play or pause, rewind, forward, and seeking to a time or selection. The interface is listed as GNOME and GTK+, and the project names more than two dozen interface languages, including Arabic, English, French, German, and Spanish. It is released under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later. SourceForge lists version 1.8, dated 2022-06-24, as the latest downloadable release, in a gnome-subtitles-1.8.tar.xz archive. That release changed the build system to Meson and fixed audio and video playback issues. Gtk-sharp and Gstreamer-sharp libraries are stated as bundled. Bugs are reported through GNOME’s bug system.
