AI Video Translator & Subtitle Generator

SublyAI is an AI video translator that automatically transcribes speech, translates it to 50+ languages, and generates subtitles or burned-in captions. Unlike cloud-based tools (such as VEED or Kapwing), SublyAI processes videos locally in your browser. Translate YouTube videos, MP4 files, and any video content online with SublyAI.

How AI Subtitle Generation Works

1

Upload Video

Supported formats: MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, FLV, 3GP, MKV, OGV, TS. Limits: 500 MB and 30 minutes.

2

Audio Extraction (Client-Side)

Audio is extracted locally in your browser using WebCodecs API.

3

Two-Phase AI Processing (Unique Approach)

Phase 1 (Deepgram): transcription with word-level timestamp precision. Phase 2 (Google Gemini): translation and transcript refinement for perfect results.

4

Translation to 50+ Languages

Automatic translation using Google Gemini AI. Including English, Czech, German, French, Spanish, Russian, and more.

5

Export Subtitles

Export as SRT, VTT, or burn-in (embed subtitles directly into video client-side).

Why Two-Phase Processing?

Current AI models have inherent limitations: they either provide accurate word-level timestamps but imperfect translation, or they can perfectly adapt text for readability but lose timing precision (so-called "timestamp drift"). SublyAI is the first in the world to combine two specialized models: Phase 1 (Deepgram) extracts a precise transcript with word-level timestamps. Phase 2 (Google Gemini) uses a model optimized for language quality and context. The result is subtitles that are accurate in both timing and linguistic expression.

Technical Details

Client-Side Processing

SublyAI uses WebCodecs API for audio extraction and MediaBunny for fast trimming and export — all directly in your browser. Your video files are processed locally; only the extracted audio is temporarily stored in secure cloud storage for AI analysis and then deleted automatically.

Two-Phase Pipeline (Deepgram + Gemini)

Phase 1 (Deepgram): Speech-to-text with word-level alignment. Phase 2 (Google Gemini): Language refinement for optimal readability and translation. This approach overcomes limitations of current models that suffer from either timestamp drift or suboptimal language output.

Security

Extracted audio is processed over encrypted connection (SSL/TLS). We use ephemeral storage (signed URLs) — audio files are automatically deleted after processing completion and are never used to train AI models.

Supported Formats

MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, FLV, 3GP, MKV, OGV, TS

FAQ

What is an AI video translator?

An AI video translator automatically transcribes speech from your video, translates it to your chosen language, and generates subtitles or burned-in captions. SublyAI uses Google Gemini AI and processes everything in your browser.

What AI model does SublyAI use?

SublyAI uses Deepgram for speech recognition (word-level accuracy) and Google Gemini AI (Vertex AI) for translation and refinement. A unique two-phase approach: Deepgram ensures precise word-level timestamps, Gemini optimizes language output.

Is the AI video translator free?

Registration includes 15 minutes of AI processing free — no credit card required. Styling, watermark, SRT/VTT import and all exports are always free. After that you can top up with pay-as-you-go credit packs anytime via Stripe Checkout — purchased minutes never expire.

How is SublyAI different from VEED?

Main differences: 1) SublyAI processes videos client-side (video is processed in your browser) while VEED uses cloud processing. 2) SublyAI offers 15 min free on registration, VEED has more limited free plan. 3) SublyAI uses two-phase AI processing for high fidelity.

Can I translate YouTube videos?

Yes! Download your YouTube video and upload it to SublyAI. You can translate to multiple languages at once and export as SRT, VTT, or burn-in subtitles.

Is there a video translator app?

SublyAI is a web-based video translator app that works in your browser. No download required - just visit our website, upload your video, and get instant translations.

Does SublyAI store my videos?

No. Your video files are processed locally in your browser. Only extracted audio is temporarily stored in secure cloud storage for AI analysis and automatically deleted after completion. The only exception is an optional format conversion, which uploads the video only after you approve it.

What languages does SublyAI support?

SublyAI supports translation to 50+ languages including English, Czech, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Dutch, and many more.

Can I use my own subtitles?

Yes, you can upload your own SRT or VTT file and perform burn-in (embed into video) for free. This feature does not deduct any minutes.

How accurate are the generated subtitles?

Thanks to our two-phase approach, we achieve 95%+ fidelity. Phase 1 ensures precise word-level timestamps, Phase 2 optimizes text quality.

What is "client-side processing"?

Client-side means processing happens directly in your browser, not on remote servers. Your video is processed in your browser, ensuring maximum privacy and speed.

How long does video translation take?

Typically 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on video length. Unlike cloud solutions, you never wait in a queue.

Is SublyAI secure?

Yes, SublyAI uses client-side architecture: your video files are processed in your browser. AI communication is encrypted (SSL/TLS) and audio files are automatically deleted after processing.
