FAQ

Is the subtitle generator really free with no watermark?

ScreenApp adds no watermark on any recording or export. The free plan gives you one recording of up to 45 minutes, 2 transcriptions, 3 uploads and 10 AI chats a month. Pro is $19/month billed annually ($228/year) or $30/month billed monthly. Max is $34/month annually or $69/month monthly.

What subtitle formats can I download?

Export as SRT (SubRip), VTT (WebVTT), TXT (plain text transcript), or burned-in captions directly in your video file. SRT files work with YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, and all major platforms. VTT files integrate with HTML5 video players and websites.

How accurate are AI-generated subtitles?

ScreenApp’s own figure is 95.8% for English studio audio (ScreenApp’s own April 2026 retest, published at /accuracy, checked 2026-09-14). It is not a third-party benchmark. Review and edit before export to catch errors from poor audio, overlapping speech or specialised vocabulary.

Can I translate subtitles to other languages?

Yes. Generate in the original language, then translate across 99 languages including Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Portuguese. Timings are preserved, so you get a second subtitle file rather than a re-recorded video.

How do I add subtitles to YouTube videos?

Generate and download the SRT file. In YouTube Studio, select your video, go to Subtitles, click Add, upload your SRT file, and publish. They appear immediately with perfect timing - edit directly in YouTube Studio if needed before publishing.

Can I customize subtitle appearance and styling?

Yes, for burned-in captions customize font family, size, color, background color, opacity, and positioning. Choose from popular styles like TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube formats. Downloaded SRT and VTT files display using the viewer’s default styling preferences.

How long does subtitle generation take?

Processing time scales with the length of the video. We do not publish a measured benchmark, so treat any specific minute figure you see elsewhere as unverified.

I have tried at least 6 different ways to transcribe meetings and get summaries: Notion with AI, HiNotes with HiDock as hardware, Plaud with different hardware, Teams agents. Every tool did a part of the job, but not one of them delivered on all my requirements. ScreenApp goes far beyond my expectations. It has the video ready if I need to re-watch a meeting.
