TimedSubs is an online tool for subtitle delivery workflows, officially positioned as producing subtitle files that are ready to deliver, rather than rough draft text.
Purpose
It covers two typical workflows:
- Script + voiceover alignment: align an already finalized script with its matching voiceover, adding an audio-aligned timeline while preserving the submitted original wording.
- Subtitle translation: translate existing subtitle files (SRT, VTT, ASS), keeping timestamps and supported styling unchanged during translation.
Main capabilities
- Script-to-SRT alignment: upload the final script and matching voiceover, generate timing based on speech timing, and keep final names, numbers, and wording as they are. The official description states that speech recognition is used only for timing checks and to flag places where the audio may not match the script; the uploaded script itself is not modified.
- Real-time subtitle translation: supports translating subtitle files into 100+ languages without breaking the timeline. Of these, 12 are Precision languages (using its strongest translation technology) and 97 are Standard languages (everyday AI translation). Supports SRT, VTT, and ASS. You can try the first file without an account.
- Pre-delivery checks: serious timeline issues remain visible until fixed, including overlaps, invalid timestamps, and negative durations.
- Glossary and quality checks: can protect terminology and use translation-level checks (depending on the plan).
- Export: SRT, VTT, SBV, ASS, timecode TXT, JSON, and ZIP, depending on the plan; you can also use the in-browser subtitle converter to modify SRT, VTT, or TXT.
- API automation (private beta): Studio and Agency evaluations can cover projects, uploads, processing, exports, usage, and webhooks. The official description explicitly states that reading the documentation does not grant access; eligible private beta workspaces can configure API keys in dashboard settings.
How to use
Two main paths:
- Script + audio path: upload the final script and matching voiceover → align speech timing → check names, timeline, and visible issues before downloading → download the subtitle file.
- Translation path: upload SRT/VTT/ASS → confirm the source language and choose a supported target language → translate while preserving timestamps → check and download according to current access permissions.
Pricing and credits (as officially provided)
- Free: one-time 15 minutes of free timing credit, no credit card required.
- One-time timing packs: 60 minutes $6, 120 minutes $12 for 180 minutes, $18, no auto-renewal, minutes do not expire. Time is calculated from the dubbed audio, and each file is rounded up to the next minute. Time packs include timing only; full subtitle translation requires a subscription plan. API and team features also require a subscription.
- One-time translation pack: $3 for 100 converted minutes. 1 converted minute = 1 source minute x 1 target language (for example, a 10-minute video translated into 3 languages consumes 30 converted minutes). No auto-renewal, and the balance can be used across translation projects. Includes standard-quality translation only and preserves the timeline.
- Subscription (billed annually):
- A plan for channels, course clips, and small-batch publishing: $144/year, including 300 minutes per month of script + audio timing, 30 minutes of timeline-preserving subtitle translation, up to 3 target languages, 1 glossary (50 entries), and up to 20 projects (maximum 2GB per project).
- A plan for client delivery: $354/year, including 1,200 minutes per month of script + audio timing, 300 minutes of timeline-preserving subtitle translation, up to 10 target languages, 5 glossaries (500 entries), up to 100 projects (maximum 5GB per project), enhanced translation quality, quality reports and ZIP delivery, and private beta API access.
Use cases and limitations
Suitable for creators who need delivery-grade subtitles, channel operators, course editors, and small publishing teams, as well as translation projects that need to translate existing subtitles without breaking the timeline. In terms of limitations: one-time time packs do not include translation, team, or API access; one-time translation packs provide standard-quality translation only; enhanced translation quality, the full glossary workflow, quality reports, ZIP delivery, and API fall under the subscription scope; the API is in private beta, and reading the documentation does not grant access; team and API features require a subscription.
