Export bilingual subtitles as SRT, VTT, ASS or TXT

Turn a saved transcript into a subtitle file: bilingual or single-language SRT, VTT, ASS or plain text, with the cue times from the session.

TanLens exports a saved transcript as SRT, VTT, ASS or TXT. You choose bilingual or single-language output, and each cue keeps the timing it had during the session. The export reflects your edits, so correct names and lines before downloading.

01Which format to choose

SRT is the safest default: editors, players and most video platforms accept it, and the bilingual version stacks the translation under the original in the same cue. VTT is the web standard, so use it for an HTML5 player or a site that already serves captions. ASS carries styling information and is the right choice when the playback tool supports styled subtitles. TXT drops the timestamps and gives you clean text for show notes, meeting minutes or a searchable archive.

02Bilingual output and timing

Bilingual export keeps two lines per cue when a translation exists, which lets a viewer compare the original and the translation without a second file. Single-language export is cleaner for an audience that only reads the target language. Cue times come from the transcript segments, so if you edit a line heavily, check that the subtitle still matches the speech around it. Re-export after any change; the downloaded file is a snapshot and does not update itself later.
