Generate SRT subtitles for a video

Generating SRT subtitles for a video is one of the most effective ways to improve watch time, accessibility, and discoverability of short-form content. Studies consistently show that captioned videos outperform uncaptioned ones in retention metrics, particularly on mobile where most viewers watch with sound off. However, creating accurate SRT files manually is slow — it involves transcribing spoken words, timing each subtitle block to the audio, formatting the file correctly, and repeating the process for every video you publish. ReelExtract automates this entirely through WhatsApp. You send a link to any public short-form video — an Instagram Reel, a TikTok, or a YouTube Short — and the system runs AI-powered speech recognition on the audio track to produce a properly timed, accurately transcribed SRT subtitle file. The output follows the standard SubRip format, which means it can be imported directly into video editors like Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or CapCut, uploaded as captions on YouTube or Instagram, or embedded into video exports for platforms that do not support sidecar subtitle files. Beyond the SRT file itself, the pack also includes the video as a standardized MP4, the audio as a separate MP3, subtitle translations in French, English, Spanish, German, and Portuguese, and an AI summary of the video content. For creators who publish daily or manage multiple accounts, automated subtitle generation removes one of the most repetitive bottlenecks in the content production pipeline.
