The short answer

quso.ai writes English subtitles from your video’s audio and lets you pick English (Global), US, UK or Australia to match the speaker. You correct the text line by line, choose one of 10 caption styles, and download the video with captions burned in. Paid plans also export an SRT file.

What you get with English subtitles in quso.ai

Timed subtitles from the audio

Choose English when you upload and quso.ai writes the subtitles with start and end times for every line.

Edit every line

Fix a word, change the timing, delete or add a line. In the transcript, Correct everywhere fixes a repeated word in one go.

10 styles, your font

Pick a caption preset, then upload your own font and set colors, outline and background. Download the video with captions burned in, or an SRT file on a paid plan.

How to add English subtitles to a video

  1. Upload the video. Drop in an MP4, MOV, M4V or WebM file, or paste a YouTube link.
  2. Choose English. The language has to match the speech in the video.
  3. Check the text. Read the first minute in the Subtitles panel and fix anything the AI misheard.
  4. Style and download. Pick a caption style and font, then download the video with the captions burned in (720p with a watermark on the free plan, 1080p on paid plans) or, on a paid plan, the SRT file.

English subtitles: what to check

  • Pick the closest accent. The upload menu has four English options: Global, US, UK and Australia. Use the one that matches how the speaker sounds. For other accents, or a panel with several, start with English (Global) and check the first minute.
  • Fix names once. Product names, people and places are where English transcripts slip. In the transcript editor, correct the word and choose Correct everywhere to fix every instance in one go.
  • Keep lines short for vertical video. English words are short enough for the word-by-word styles (One Word, Two Word) to read well on a phone. For a long interview, Basic Subtitles is easier to follow.
  • Spelling follows the speech, not your style guide. If your brand writes "colour" or "color", check a few lines after transcription and fix them with Correct everywhere.

What the subtitles look like

A subtitle line from a video spoken in English, as it looks in an exported SRT file:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,400
Welcome back to the channel.

Font: Any bold sans-serif reads well on a phone; the presets already use one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose between American and British English?+
You choose the accent: the language menu has English (Global), US, UK and Australia. Pick the one closest to the speaker. Check the spelling of a few words afterwards and fix them with Correct everywhere if your style differs.
How do I add English subtitles to a video?+
Upload the video to quso.ai, choose English as the spoken language, check the text in the editor, pick a caption style and download the video with the subtitles burned in. On a paid plan you can also download an SRT file.
Can I download English subtitles as an SRT file?+
Yes, on any paid plan: use the download icon in the editor’s Subtitles panel. The free plan downloads the video with the captions burned in. quso.ai doesn’t export VTT.
Can quso.ai translate a video into English?+
No. quso.ai writes subtitles in the language that’s spoken in the video. A video spoken in English gets English subtitles; it doesn’t translate other languages into English.
Is it free?+
Creating an account is free. Where quso.ai offers a free plan, it includes 75 credits a month (one credit is one minute of video) and exports at 720p with a quso.ai watermark. In other countries you buy credit packs. See pricing for your country.
