No, basically there is no free software that can do the same things that professional software does. Do you know how the subtitles look like in their final form? txt, I don't see why you have to use tables in a doc file in the first place. Now the problem seems to be the output format.
It might be a bit confusing at first, but you won't believe how fast this method is when you get used to it. No need to copy and paste the time code, it is done automatically. Then, you highlight the sentence directly on the waveform with the mouse, right click, select "add subtitle", type in your subtitle and that's it. You just click anywhere on the waveform, zoom in/out with the mouse wheel, hit play (or F1) and locate the beginning and the end of the sentence you need to subtitle. This is the main and most important feature of this program. VisualSubSync will create a visual representation of the sound track. It does not look very fancy but it is free and it works like a charm.īasically, you launch the program and load the video. I have done quite a lot of subtitling and the best software for this task, in my opinion, is VisualSubSync. I believe the final output format is txt (converted from doc), not srt. I would like to know if there is any good, professional subtitling software out there (ideally open source or less than $500) that would allow me to work in a similar fashion. CTRL + down arrow automatically inserts the timecode at which the video is stopped in the left column of the table. You can move in the video one frame at the time, both forward and back, at the touch of an arrow key. The following is, for me, the most efficient way to subtitle, and the way it's done with their software:ġ) Open software (an empty table appears) and video playerĢ) Watch/listen to video, stopping and rewinding it 1-2 seconds (with the arrow keys) regularly to translate and insert subtitles and timecodes in tableģ) Spellcheck and timecode-check and then watch video again with subtitles for any editing This is not ideal since somebody else has to do the timecoding in their software afterwards. Instead of buying this software, I started using a compatible Word template (basically a two-column table for timecodes in the left column and subtitles in the right), in which I type all the subtitles and insert a few timecodes manually as a reference.

I do some freelance subtitling for a postproduction company that uses a very expensive (several thousand dollars), locally-developed Word-based software to do both subtitling and offline closed captioning.
