Introducing TimedSubs: Script-to-SRT Timing & Subtitle Translation
TimedSubs syncs approved scripts to voiceover, translates SRT/VTT without breaking timing, and runs subtitle QA before delivery.
Introducing TimedSubs: Script-to-SRT Timing & Subtitle Translation
Approved scripts and voiceovers often arrive before the subtitle file does. TimedSubs helps localization and post teams sync scripts to audio, translate SRT/VTT without breaking timing, and run subtitle QA before delivery.
It sits in the caption / subtitle craft layer — precise timing and multilingual assets, not viral preset burn-ins.
What TimedSubs does
Professional subtitle workflows:
- Script to subtitles — create delivery-ready subtitles from approved script text and matching audio
- Audio-script alignment — align an existing script to audio without rewriting the words
- Audio & video to subtitles — generate timed subtitles from your own media
- Subtitle translation — multilingual assets with timing and terminology controls
- Subtitle QA & exports — check timeline, readability, and export readiness

Who it is for
Localization teams, e-learning producers, YouTube educators, and post houses that need accurate SRT/VTT from approved scripts — not just auto-captions for social.
Where it fits in a content stack
TimedSubs owns script + audio → timed SRT/VTT → translated + QA’d subtitle packages. Use a social caption tool for burn-in styles; use TimedSubs when delivery specs and timing accuracy matter.
Why it matters now
Multilingual video and accessibility requirements make “good enough” auto-captions expensive to fix later. Aligning to an approved script once saves rework across languages.
How teams typically use TimedSubs
A localization lead uploads VO and the locked script, exports timed SRT, then translates with terminology controls. An e-learning team generates source subtitles from course audio and runs QA before LMS upload. A YouTuber exports SRT for a video that already has a written script.
Quick tips if you try TimedSubs
- Lock the script before you align — wording changes break timing.
- Run QA on reading speed and gaps before you ship.
- Keep a glossary for product names when you translate.
- Export the format your platform expects (SRT/VTT) early in the pipeline.
- Email support@timedsubs.com for product questions.
Soft close — related tool
If you also need concept → storyboard → animated or whiteboard explainer / Reels (not talking-avatar presenters), see Scro Explainer. Scro (by NOVAX) is built around approving an AI storyboard before you render — useful when the job is teaching a process, not timing and translating subtitle files. Keep TimedSubs as the focus of this intro; Scro is only a related option for storyboard-first explainers.
