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.
VisualSubSync
VisualSubSync is a Windows subtitle editor built around an audio waveform. Users create subtitles by selecting audio regions and entering text, or load plain-text or RTF transcripts for synchronization. It supports SRT and SSA/ASS formats and exports SRT. Checks flag overlapping subtitles, display times that are too short or long, and lines exceeding a configured length; speed indicators and network suggestions support review. Network mode lets others submit missing words or subtitle suggestions through a browser. A translation mode displays a second subtitle file for reference without editing it. Work can begin with a video, followed by WAV audio extraction and waveform editing. Playback uses Windows DirectShow, and some files may need codecs or splitter filters. The project lists version 1.0.1, dated 2013-06-29, and is released under GNU GPL version 2.0. The maker describes it as a hobby project developed in Delphi and C++.
