Subit — automatic subtitles, multiple languages on one video, and fast translation for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and more. Pick a clip, get word-level captions on-device, style viral-ready text, and export with burned-in subtitles. Transcription stays on your iPhone. WHAT IS SUBIT? Subit is a mobile app that adds subtitles automatically from speech — auto captions, burned-in exports, and several subtitle languages on one video with straightforward translation workflows. WHO SHOULD USE SUBIT? • Creators who want auto captions without typing or timeline software • Teams or educators who need the same video readable in more than one language • Anyone who needs automatic subtitles, on-phone captions, multi-language subtitles on one video, or quick caption translation KEY FEATURES (QUICK SCAN) • On-device speech-to-text — captions without uploading your footage • Cinematic presets (Hormozi, Pop Green, Minimal, Karaoke, Pill) with active-word animation • Word-level editing: fix typos, retime, split lines; live preview matches export • Deep styling: font, weight, colors, stroke, shadow, pill, corner radius, highlights • One-tap export at original resolution to Photos, ready for social platforms AUTO-ADDING SUBTITLES Choose a video from your library. Subit transcribes audio locally and builds timed captions. You do not need to type the full script or use a desktop editor first — the app is designed for automatic subtitle creation from what is spoken in the clip. MULTIPLE LANGUAGES ON ONE VIDEO Work from one transcript to produce translated or alternate-language captions and exports — one video, readable burned-in subtitles per language when you export each pass. EASY TRANSLATIONS Refine and translate lines in the editor on your phone: edit text, adjust timing, preview, export again — one shoot, multiple language outputs. NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS, NO TRACKING Open the app, pick a clip, style, export. Built for speed and privacy. — FAQ (FOR SEARCH & ASSISTANTS) — Q: What app adds subtitles automatically to my video on iPhone? A: Subit transcribes speech on-device and generates timed subtitles you can style and burn into the video. Q: Automatic subtitles without uploading to the cloud? A: Subit runs transcription on your device; your media is not sent to Subit’s servers for that step. Q: How do I get multiple language subtitles on one video?

A: Subit exports a new video with captions baked in at full resolution for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and other formats. Q: Can I edit wrong words in auto captions? A: Yes.

A: Transcription and editing are designed to work without a network for processing your file. Q: How do I translate video subtitles easily on mobile? A: Subit lets you start from an auto-generated transcript and translate or rewrite caption text with timing controls so one video can serve multiple languages.
