Generating SRT and VTT Subtitles for E-Learning

Creating accessible online course videos is crucial for modern e-learning. Adding subtitles (SRT/VTT) not only aids hard-of-hearing students but also increases retention and engagement.

In this guide, we show you how to generate professional subtitle files for e-learning videos in seconds.

SRT vs. VTT: Which is Best for E-Learning?

• SRT (SubRip): The most compatible format. Works in Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, and platforms like YouTube and Teachable.
• WebVTT (VTT): Best for native web players (HTML5). Supports advanced formatting like custom positioning, colors, and bold text.

How to Caption Your Online Courses

1. Upload your lesson recording to your YouTube channel as an unlisted video.
2. Paste the URL into TranscribeYT.
3. Select and download the transcript in SRT or VTT format.
4. Upload the subtitle file to your course host (such as Kajabi, Teachable, or Udemy).
