Frequently Asked Questions
What are subtitles and why do they matter?
Subtitles are timed text captions that display dialogue, narration, and audio descriptions in videos. They increase accessibility for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, help non-native speakers understand content, improve engagement (85% of social media videos are watched without sound), and boost SEO by making your content searchable.

How accurate is AI subtitle generation?
AskEditor's AI achieves 95%+ accuracy for clear audio in supported languages. Accuracy depends on audio quality, accents, background noise, and technical terminology. Our editor makes it easy to quickly review and correct any errors before exporting.
What export formats does AskEditor support?

Is my video data secure with AskEditor?

Which languages does the subtitle generator support?
AskEditor supports 120+ languages including English (Global, US, UK, Australia, Canada, India), Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian, Hindi, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Turkish, Greek, Hebrew, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Malay, Filipino, Ukrainian, Czech, Romanian, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, and many more. Pick the source language at upload time.
Can I translate subtitles to other languages?
Yes. Once your subtitles are generated, you can translate them to any supported language with one click while preserving the original timing and formatting. Useful for shipping the same campaign across multiple regions without re-recording the source.
What's the difference between burned-in and separate subtitle files?
A separate file (SRT, VTT, WebVTT) lives alongside the video and lets the viewer toggle captions on or off, which is better for YouTube, accessibility compliance, and any platform that supports caption tracks. A burned-in (hardcoded) subtitle is rendered into the pixels of the video itself, which is better for TikTok, Reels, and any feed where autoplay is muted and the captions need to show without the viewer having to enable them. AskEditor exports both.
