Using TinrecImport & export

Create captions for your video

Turn a video into a transcript and export SRT captions, or use live captions while recording.

Overview

Tinrec can help you create captions for video: first convert the video to a transcript, then export an SRT captions file. You can also turn on Live Subtitle during live recording to show text in real time.

Steps

  1. Generate a transcript:
    • For a local video: on the home screen / Workspace, tap Import → drag and drop the video file (such as MP4) → tap Start transcription.
    • For a web video: tap Web video → paste the link → tap Extract video transcript.
  2. After transcription finishes, open the conversation and tap More menu (⋯)Export.
  3. Choose content type Transcript and format SRT captions.
  4. Tap Download to get the SRT file, then import it into your video editing software.
  5. Live captions: While recording, you can turn on Live Subtitle in settings so text appears during recording (supported on iOS, Android, Mac, and Web).

Tips / FAQ

  • Caption language: Tinrec supports Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, Cantonese, Taiwanese, and more. The system defaults to Auto-detect; you can switch manually when needed to improve accuracy.
