Chinese subtitle generator

Between words wherever it can find them, from the timing of each spoken word and the browser’s own Chinese word list. A line never begins with a closing mark such as ，or 。, which stays at the end of the line before it.

In our test layout a few breaks still fell inside a word, most of them in long foreign names written by sound, such as the volcano 尼拉贡戈. Move a break like that in the SRT if it bothers you.

Because the speech mostly comes back without it: 35 of our 40 test sentences had no punctuation at all. Subtitles then end at the speaker’s pauses rather than at a 。. Where a comma does appear, it may be a plain “,” instead of the full-width “，”.

Simplified. Every Mandarin test sentence came back in simplified characters, the script of mainland China and Singapore. For viewers in Taiwan or Hong Kong, who read traditional characters, put the SRT text through a simplified-to-traditional converter; the times are unaffected.

So every subtitle is written in Chinese characters. Left to guess, the generator can take a short Mandarin phrase for another language and write that stretch in the wrong script. Set to Chinese, the whole video is subtitled in characters.

English terms said inside Mandarin, such as pH or IT, stay in Latin letters within the line. If the speakers switch between whole sentences of Mandarin and English, the main subtitle generator detects the language of each stretch instead.

Yes. NoteOwl understands Chinese on your Mac, transcribes Mandarin recordings there with unlimited transcription and saves SRT subtitles labelled with each speaker’s name. For a Chinese transcript rather than subtitles, use Chinese audio to text.
