AI.opensubtitles.com is an online platform that utilizes artificial intelligence to transcribe and translate audio and video files. Users can easily convert their multimedia content into text and translate it into various languages.
In early 2023, a company approached me with the goal of automating the subtitling process for their extensive collection of software tutorial videos. They wanted to generate subtitles and translate them into multiple languages. In response, I developed a PHP backend, accessible through REST API, to automate audio track extraction and transcription using an AI model. Subsequently, I created a web front end using HTML5, Javascript, and WASM modules to provide users with a user-friendly means of extracting audio tracks from movie files and generating subtitles.
After discussions with the developer of OpenSubtitles.org, the largest public database for movie subtitles, we decided to host the platform on a subdomain. We integrated the user base from the main domain using a mechanism similar to OAuth2, allowing users of OpenSubtitles.org to log in to AI.OpenSubtitles.com with their main site credentials. At this stage, we introduced a credit-based payment system, utilizing the payment provider service from the main site.
Over the following months, I conducted extensive testing on various AI models for transcription and translation. The successful models were incorporated into the subtitle generator platform, providing users with a diverse range of choices. In July 2023, AI.OpenSubtitles.com was officially launched and has since experienced growth in both user numbers and the selection of available AI models.
Our platform makes it easy for users to upload their audio, video, or subtitle files. You can choose from various AI models and languages to generate subtitles or translate existing ones. Behind the scenes, our advanced algorithms ensure speedy and accurate transcriptions and translations. What makes us stand out is our use of client-side audio extraction from movies, thanks to FFmpeg wasm. This means we can generate subtitles faster and more efficiently than many other platforms, providing our users with a smooth and streamlined experience.
In addition to these features, our credit-based payment system adds another layer of convenience. Users have the flexibility to purchase credits, which are then utilized when accessing AI services. This pay-as-you-go approach ensures cost-effectiveness, allowing users to pay only for the specific services they need. The credits never expire, providing users with the freedom to integrate AI services seamlessly into their workflows without the pressure of expiration dates. This unique advantage empowers our users with control, flexibility, and personalized cost-efficiency in their interactions with our platform.
AI.opensubtitles.com supports a wide range of languages. Users can select the desired language for transcription based on their preferences.

The platform continually tests new and upcoming AI models for translation and transcription, providing users with a diverse selection of options in terms of both pricing and quality. Our platform offers multiple AI models with varying levels of accuracy and features. Users can choose the model that best fits their requirements.
More information about our AI models you can find here.
Our pricing structure is determined by the usage of credits, which is influenced by both the chosen AI model and the duration of the uploaded file. In the case of transcription, the calculation is based on seconds, with each AI model having a distinct rate per second. When dealing with subtitle files, the count is on written characters, excluding timestamps from the calculation.
* per minute
* per 1000 characters

Credits operate as a flexible and user-centric payment method, offering distinct advantages over traditional subscriptions. Users have the ability to purchase credits, which are then utilized when accessing AI services. The beauty of this system lies in its adaptability, allowing users to harness AI capabilities at their own pace without being tied to monthly or yearly subscriptions. These credits never expire, providing users with the freedom to use them whenever needed.
The longevity of credits ensures that users can seamlessly integrate AI services into their workflows without the pressure of expiration dates. Whether it's a short-term project or an ongoing requirement, the credits remain valid indefinitely. This flexibility aligns with varying user needs and eliminates the rush to utilize credits within a specific timeframe.
Furthermore, the credit-based system promotes cost-effectiveness by enabling users to pay for the precise services they consume. Unlike fixed subscription fees, credits are spent based on the specific AI services accessed and corresponding usage. This pay-as-you-go approach guarantees that users only pay for the services they require, offering a personalized and economical solution tailored to individual needs. In essence, credits empower users with control, flexibility, and cost-efficiency when utilizing AI services.
The platform prioritizes user privacy, ensuring secure processing of files and adhering to rigorous privacy and security measures. Subtitles generated through transcription or translation are exclusively accessible to the user who created them.
AI.OpenSubtitles.com does not retain any login/password information; instead, it employs an OAuth2 system to access user-related data from the site on the root domain.

We regret any inconvenience caused, but it appears that the FFmpeg WASM audio extraction/format conversion task could not be successfully completed. This is likely due to FFmpeg WASM reaching its memory limit, influenced by OS or browser constraints.
FFmpeg WASM is an innovative technology enabling the use of FFmpeg, a robust multimedia processing tool, directly within the browser without requiring installation or server-side processing. However, FFmpeg WASM has limitations, particularly regarding the amount of memory it can utilize. Depending on your OS and browser settings, FFmpeg WASM might face challenges accessing sufficient memory for processing large or complex files, resulting in errors or failures.
