Ukrainian subtitle generator

So that Ukrainian is spelled as Ukrainian. Russian shares most of its letters, and a short stretch whose language is guessed can come back with Russian spelling, и for і or е for є. Set to Ukrainian, every subtitle keeps і, ї, є and the apostrophe.

For a video in which people switch between Ukrainian and Russian or English for long stretches, the main subtitle generator is the right tool: it detects the language of each stretch.

Because the generator treats a dash like a comma, as a natural place to pause, so a subtitle may end there. In our test, “Дорожній потік –” stood alone and “це визначення руху окремих водіїв” followed in the next subtitle. Merge such a pair if you’d rather keep the sentence together.

The dash never starts a line, and hyphenated words such as “10-й” and “1889-му” are never split. Netflix’s Ukrainian guide also asks that a line not separate an adjective from its noun or a first name from a surname, worth a glance when you proofread.

With a hyphen and no space before each speaker’s line, in Netflix’s Ukrainian guide, which also allows 42 characters a line and 17 characters a second, the same limits as this page. The web generator writes no speaker hyphens, so add them where two voices share a subtitle.

The guide also wants chevrons for quotations, as our test had in «жук», and large numbers grouped in threes with spaces.

NoteOwl understands Ukrainian on your Mac: it transcribes Ukrainian recordings there with unlimited transcription, separates the voices and saves SRT subtitles with their names, with on-device AI models. For a Ukrainian transcript to read or quote, use Ukrainian audio to text.
