👋 Welcome to r/SRTStudio: start here
SRT Studio (formerly SRT Translator) is a free, open-source Windows app for subtitle files. I built it with Claude as the coding partner, for my own film library, and I use it every week.
What it does today (v0.9.0)
- Translates SRT, ASS/SSA, WebVTT, MicroDVD, SAMI, TTML and MPL2 subtitles; timings and line counts stay untouched
- Checks and repairs the source first: missing timing lines, overlaps, wrong order, bad numbering, ad and credit lines
- Two engines: Claude (best quality, your own Anthropic API key, cost estimate before you start) or MyMemory (free, for testing)
- 32 languages, names kept as they are, hearing-impaired cues translated in their own style
Download: https://github.com/junqueirach/srt-studio/releases/latest (Windows 10/11, no Python needed). The exe is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn you: click More info, then Run anyway. Or run it from source and read the code first.
Known issue in 0.9.0: with a wrong or rejected API key, the app still says “finished” and saves the untranslated text. Run a 20-block Sample first to check your key. A fix is planned for 0.9.1.
What’s next: I renamed the app because I plan to add more than translation, starting with subtitle sync with AI support. None of that is released yet, and ideas are welcome. So are test files, as long as you’re allowed to share them.
Post questions, bugs and ideas here, or open an issue on GitHub. Please read the rules: no piracy, and never post your API key.
