SRT (SubRip) is a widely supported subtitle format. If you need captions for YouTube, social clips, or editors like Premiere and Final Cut, generating SRT from a transcript is often the fastest path.
What an SRT file contains
Each cue has an index, a start and end timestamp, and the caption text. Players and editors use those timings to display lines in sync with speech.
How to create SRT with Simple Scribe
Upload your video or audio on Simple Scribe (or import YouTube).
Review the transcript for accuracy.
Export SRT from your workspace.
Import the SRT into YouTube, CapCut, Premiere, or your platform of choice.
Caption editing tips
Keep lines short enough to read on mobile
Fix speaker names and brand spellings before export
Split dense monologues into shorter cues when needed
Verify a few mid-video cues against playback
Timestamps come from the transcript, so a clean recording with clear speech usually needs fewer caption fixes.
