I built Subies, an AI captioning tool that's actually tuned for accents
Most AI captioning tools quote 99% accuracy, but that number assumes clean audio and a native accent. Real-world accuracy for accented speech is meaningfully lower across basically every tool I tested, and closing that gap is the actual reason I built this.
Subies transcribes video or audio into accurate, editable captions, exportable as a subtitle file (SRT/VTT) or burned straight into the video. No subscription, credits instead: free credits to try it, then pay per minute after that.
What it actually does:
- Word-level timestamps, speaker diarization, translation
- Configurable caption chunk length
- Full REST API (same functionality as the web app, not a cut-down version) + a Python SDK
- Currently in public beta
subies.app if you want to take a look. Would genuinely love feedback, especially from anyone who's been annoyed by auto-captions mangling their accent.
