Translated and bilingual exports
After translating a transcript you can export the original, the translation, or a bilingual version. Translated SRT files keep the timing of the original sentences. Translation uses credits separately from transcription.
Before you publish
Review names, numbers and technical terms in the browser editor before exporting. Check subtitle timing and reading speed in your video editor; FastScribe edits the text of each cue, and cue timing is adjusted in a subtitle editor.
