Build SRT leverages Apple’s built-in speech recognition framework to convert spoken audio into text. You can use the system’s native speech-to-text functionality to experience its transcription accuracy firsthand. To complement the limitations of the built-in recognizer, the app also supports manual import of natural language text, offering greater flexibility in subtitle creation. The app generates subtitle files in standard SRT format, but it does not produce new video files with embedded subtitles. The "Build SRT" App can efficiently extract the voice in the video and convert these sounds into subtitle SRT files. The generated subtitle SRT file is a universal subtitle file format, so that you can use the subtitle SRT file widely. Features: • It is very convenient to import videos from the system "Photos" and "Files" • Import videos at the same time and view subtitles according to the video at a glance • Efficiently and quickly extract the sound in the video and convert it into an SRT file • SRT files can be quickly shared on other devices.Support sharing, copying, spacing and forwarding on Apple system to facilitate exporting SRT files for modification and use. • SRT files are a universal subtitle file format and can be used widely.

About

Keyboard Now

Features
Read full description

Keyboard Now is a keyboard that types your saved information into any app — the places where copy and paste falls apart. Save the things you retype constantly: your address, phone number, email, support replies, disclosure language, intake phrasing, follow-ups. Then tap once to type them anywhere — forms, chats, apps that block pasting. COMMUNITY PROMPTS (NEW) A free feed of prompts people actually use, with no account required. Browse by category, vote, and save any of them into your keyboard in one tap — including wording tuned separately for Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini. You can publish your own anonymously, and hide, report or block anything that does not belong. FROM A SCREENSHOT, OR FROM YOUR OWN HISTORY (NEW) Share a screenshot to Keyboard Now and it reads the text on your device. Or import a Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini export and it will find the prompts you keep reusing. Neither one sends your text anywhere. WRITING ACTIONS (NEW) On devices that support Apple Intelligence, rewrite, shorten, draft or summarise right inside the keyboard, in the field you are already typing in. It runs on device. SHARED LIBRARIES Keep a set of snippets in sync across a team. One person hosts the library; everyone they invite gets it in their own keyboard, automatically. Members get read-only access, so nobody can break the team's snippets by accident — and anyone can suggest additions for the owner to approve. BUILT AROUND YOUR PRIVACY There's no account and no server of ours. Your snippets live on your device and sync through your own iCloud. Nothing leaves your device unless you deliberately create a shared library or publish a prompt to the community feed — there is no "share everything" button, and we never see any of it. ALSO INCLUDED • Organize snippets by category, with pinning and collections • Save links, contacts, notes and AI prompts • Fill-in-the-blank snippets for anything with a variable • A Home Screen widget, and a Lock Screen Live Activity on the day of a saved occasion • Face ID lock • Sync across all your devices via iCloud KEYBOARD NOW PRO Browsing and saving community prompts is free, and joining a shared library is free and unlimited. Hosting your own library is part of Keyboard Now Pro, available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
