Croatian subtitle generator

Because Croatian, Serbian and Bosnian are close enough that a short stretch whose language is guessed may come back with another standard’s word forms, or in Cyrillic. Set to Croatian, every subtitle is written in Croatian, in Latin script.

A video in which people switch to English for whole passages is better handled by the main subtitle generator, which detects the language of each passage itself.

With a decimal comma, as in “magnitude 6,5”, and a full stop after years and ordinals, as in “u 3. stoljeću”. Large numbers came back with a full stop too (“10.000 godina”), where Netflix’s Croatian guide wants a space: “10 000”.

The same guide leaves numbers up to 9999 without any separator, writes dates as “20.2.2004.” and spells out one to ten. Change those in the SRT if you follow it; the timing lines stay as they are.

With a hyphen and no space at the start of each speaker’s line, “-I što?” over “-Pričekaj. Daj mi trenutak.”, and „ ” quotation marks, in Netflix’s Croatian guide. The web generator writes the spoken words only, so add the hyphens yourself.

Its length and speed limits are this page’s too: 42 characters a line and 17 a second for adults. In Croatia, as across the Balkans, films and series for adults are generally subtitled; dubbing is mostly for children’s programmes.

Croatian is one of the languages NoteOwl understands on your Mac. It transcribes Croatian recordings there with unlimited transcription, recognises each speaker and saves SRT subtitles with their names. For a Croatian transcript instead of subtitles, use Croatian audio to text.
