How to add subtitles to podcast
- 1
Upload your podcast audio or video file
Drag in your podcast MP3, WAV, or MP4 file - no account or login needed to get started. Your first 5 minutes are processed free, so short trailers or preview clips cost nothing to subtitle. Longer episodes are billed at 5 cents per minute, and you only pay for the runtime you actually upload.

Choose your language and correct the subtitles
Select from over 50 languages before processing, then CentClip transcribes the spoken content and displays every subtitle line in a simple editor with timestamps. Guest names, show-specific terminology, and any mis-heard words can be corrected directly in the editor before you export. No need to re-run the whole file for small fixes.

Download your subtitle files or burned-in video
Export an SRT file for YouTube or Spotify Video, a VTT file for web players and podcast hosting platforms, or a plain text transcript for show notes and SEO copy. If you want subtitles permanently embedded in a video file, download a burned-in MP4 instead. All formats are included at no extra cost from the same job.
Why choose CentClip?
Video podcast platforms index spoken content when a subtitle file is attached
YouTube and Spotify Video both use attached subtitle and caption files to index the words spoken in an episode - episodes without them rely on the title and description alone for search visibility. Attaching an accurate SRT file to a 45-minute episode adds thousands of words of indexed content that algorithms use to surface your show to new listeners. CentClip generates that SRT file in the same job you use to produce burned-in subtitles for social clips, so you get every output from a single upload.
International listeners follow dense podcast topics more easily with subtitles
Podcast interviews covering technical, legal, medical, or financial subjects are difficult to follow for listeners whose first language is not the speaker's. A subtitle file running alongside the audio lets non-native speakers read along, pause, and re-read - turning a difficult episode into one they can actually absorb. CentClip transcribes in the language the episode was recorded in across 50-plus languages, so international podcasters can generate subtitles without switching to a different tool for each show.
No subscription means the cost matches how irregularly podcasters actually publish
A launch week might mean four episodes in seven days. Two months later there might be nothing. A flat monthly subscription charges the same whether you subtitle ten episodes or zero, and unused minutes disappear at the billing reset. CentClip credits cost 5 cents per minute with no expiry, so a 60-minute episode costs $3.00 and a quiet month costs nothing. There is no minimum spend, no renewal pressure, and no credits lost at the end of a cycle.
FAQ
How accurate are auto-generated subtitles for podcast-style audio with multiple speakers?
CentClip handles clear conversational audio well, including multi-speaker interviews and shows with remote guests. Accuracy decreases with heavy background noise or significant crosstalk, so the built-in editor is there to catch and correct any errors before you export.
Is there a free trial for adding subtitles to a podcast?
Yes - your first 5 minutes are free with no account or credit card required. After that, subtitles cost 5 cents per minute with no subscription.
What subtitle formats can I download for my podcast?
CentClip exports SRT and VTT subtitle files, a plain text transcript, and a burned-in MP4 with subtitles embedded directly in the video. All formats are generated from the same transcription job at no extra cost.
Do CentClip credits expire if I take a long break between podcast seasons?
No. CentClip credits never expire - buy them once and use them whenever your next episode is ready, with no monthly reset, no quota deadline, and no minimum spend.
