Generate SRT subtitles from video offline

Updated: 2026-07-05

Video to subtitles without upload

Courses and podcasts need SRT/VTT. Cloud services have minute limits and retention policies.

Dicto transcribes video locally and exports ready subtitles.

Process

  1. Import MP4/MKV in Dicto
  2. FFmpeg extracts audio
  3. Whisper generates timed segments
  4. Export SRT or VTT

Quality tips

Clear audio = better sync. Use medium model if hardware allows.
