Polish subtitle generator

To keep every subtitle in Polish. When the language is guessed, a few unclear seconds can be written as Czech, Slovak or another close language, and viewers lose the thread. Set to Polish, the whole video is subtitled in Polish spelling.

Interviews that switch to English for long answers are better served by the main subtitle generator, which recognises the language of each part.

Ones that end in a full stop, such as “w.” and “p.n.e.”. The generator keeps them inside the sentence, so in our test “Wielka piramida zbudowana w III w. p.n.e. jest jedną z wielu” ran on in one subtitle.

It reads fine on screen, but you can merge the two subtitles in a text editor if you prefer whole sentences. The century came back in Roman numerals, “III w.”, as Polish writes centuries.

Netflix’s Polish style guide uses the same limits as this page, 42 characters a line and 17 a second, and writes times with a full stop, as our test did (“23.35”). It also asks for „ ” quotation marks and a hyphen with a space before each of two speakers.

The generator never adds speaker dashes, and our Polish test had no quotation marks to convert, so both are yours to add where you need them. On Polish television, by the way, foreign films are usually voiced over by a lektor rather than subtitled.

NoteOwl understands Polish on your Mac: it transcribes Polish recordings there with unlimited transcription, separates the speakers and saves SRT subtitles with each person’s name, using on-device AI models. For a Polish transcript you can read and edit, go to Polish audio to text.
