Hebrew subtitles from any video, as SRT or WebVTT
To make Hebrew subtitles, upload the video to IvreetMeet: the Hebrew speech is transcribed by speaker with timestamps, you correct names and numbers in the editor, and you export an SRT or WebVTT file that YouTube, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut on desktop and VLC all read. Subtitle export is part of the paid plans; the free plan shows and edits the same transcript and exports PDF. The subtitles are in Hebrew, the language spoken; the service does not translate.
How it works
- 1Upload the video. MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG/OPUS, FLAC, AMR, 3GP, WMA, AIFF, CAF, and video: MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, AVI, up to 500MB. Only the audio track is read.
- 2Review the transcript. It comes back split by speaker, with a timestamp on every line. Names, numbers and brand names are where automatic transcription errs; fix them while you listen.
- 3Export SRT or WebVTT. Each line of the transcript becomes a subtitle with its own timing. Split long lines before exporting if you want shorter subtitles.
- 4Add them to the video. Upload the file to the platform, import it into your editor, or burn it in.
Where the file goes
| Destination | Format | How |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube | SRT or WebVTT | YouTube Studio → Subtitles → add language → upload file |
| Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve | SRT | Import it as a captions or subtitle track, style it, export |
| CapCut (desktop or web) | SRT | Import captions; the phone app has no subtitle import |
| Facebook, LinkedIn | SRT | Upload the file with the video |
| Instagram Reels, TikTok | Burned in | No subtitle file upload; burn the subtitles in with an editor first |
| VLC and other players | SRT | Same file name as the video, or Subtitle → Add |
| Your own website | WebVTT | <track kind="captions" srclang="he"> |
Hebrew-specific problems, and the fixes
- Gibberish instead of Hebrew. An encoding mismatch in an older player: re-save the file as UTF-8 with BOM, or set the encoding in the player.
- Punctuation on the wrong side. Some players and editors do not lay out right-to-left text. YouTube, VLC and the main editors do; with one that does not, burn the subtitles in with an editor that supports Hebrew.
- A font without Hebrew. When burning in, choose a font that has Hebrew letters, or the editor substitutes boxes.
- English words inside Hebrew speech. They are transcribed as said, in Latin letters, the way Israelis write them.
Subtitles for accessibility
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Hebrew subtitle generator?
The transcript is free on the free plan (7 recordings and 120 minutes a month): you can read and correct it, and export PDF. Exporting SRT or WebVTT subtitle files needs a paid plan; Pro is ₪99 a month.
SRT or WebVTT?
SRT for video editors, YouTube and players such as VLC. WebVTT for a <track> on a website. The timing and the text are the same.
My Hebrew subtitles show as gibberish. What do I do?
The file is UTF-8 and an older Windows player is reading it as another encoding. Open it in Notepad, choose Save As with the encoding UTF-8 with BOM, and save. In VLC you can also set the subtitle encoding in the subtitle settings.
Can it make English subtitles from Hebrew speech?
No. The subtitles are in Hebrew. YouTube can auto-translate uploaded Hebrew captions for viewers who choose another language.
Can I add them in CapCut on my phone?
CapCut imports subtitle files on desktop and on the web, not in the phone app. Import the SRT on desktop, style it, and export the video with the subtitles burned in.
Does each subtitle say who is speaking?
Yes, each cue starts with the speaker name you assigned, which is what accessible captions need for a conversation. For a single speaker, name them once or remove the prefix in your editor.
