01

A sentence at a time.

SubFlow transcribes ahead of playback on seekable media and shapes speech into readable sentences. Jump to another moment and recognition follows.

On-device recognition
02

Two languages. Together.

Keep the original and a translation in view. Built with Chinese, Japanese, and bilingual reading in mind, with adjustable subtitle styles.

Bilingual subtitles · Pro
03

Words worth keeping.

Recognition and translation depend on device, language, and installed model availability. A network connection may be needed to download models. Transcription is designed for interruptible foreground use; continuous background processing is not guaranteed.

Personal by design

Your media stays yours.

Speech recognition runs on your device. We don’t operate a server that receives your audio or video. There is no account to create, no advertising, and no third-party analytics SDK.

If you choose an API service for translation or sentence refinement, subtitle text and necessary context go to that service using your API key. Your audio and video do not.
