In their own words
Editsub
EditSub is a web-based subtitle editor and management tool for changing subtitle text, adjusting timing, translating subtitles and converting formats. It works with SRT, VTT, SBV, SUB, ASS and SSA files, and exports SRT and VTT. Its AI translation supports more than 100 languages. Local audio or video files up to 10 minutes can be transcribed free without logging in; longer files and translation require credits. The AI co-pilot can flag reading-speed, timing, overlap, gap, line-length and transcription issues, and can fix or rewrite cues. Timing tools include frame-accurate adjustment, batch shifting, waveform synchronization and real-time preview. Video-to-subtitle accepts listed audio and video formats, with a maximum media size of 3072 MB; subtitle uploads are limited to 10 MB. The free plan includes 10 subtitle files. Pro is listed at $4 a year, billed $48 per year, with 1,500 credits per month.
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.
