Audio to SRT and VTT subtitles

Give it links to audio or video files and get timed subtitles back, plus the plain transcript.

Run it on the Apify Store

The job

Set outputFormats to include srt and/or vtt and every file returns a subtitle track built from Whisper's timed segments, next to the plain text. Language is auto-detected or set; choose base (quicker) or small (more accurate, 2-3 times slower).

Example input

{
  "files": ["https://example.com/interview.mp3"],
  "model": "base",
  "language": "auto",
  "outputFormats": ["srt", "vtt"],
  "maxAudioMinutes": 60
}

Example output

{
  "url": "https://example.com/interview.mp3",
  "status": "ok",
  "language": "en",
  "durationSec": 263.4,
  "text": "...",
  "srt": "1\n00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,200\n..."
}

Good to know

• Direct links to audio or video files only; YouTube, TikTok and Instagram page links are refused.
• No speaker labels. Accuracy depends on audio quality and language; check important transcripts and subtitles before publishing.
• On the default 2 GB, base runs at roughly 2x real time, so an hour of audio takes about 30 minutes.
