Local AI transcription, word-level timestamps, SRT exported and placed on your caption track. No manual timing. No cloud upload. 90+ languages.
Three steps from raw footage to perfectly timed captions on your timeline. No cloud, no waiting, no manual typing..
OpenAI's Whisper AI model runs entirely on your machine. Your audio never leaves your computer. No upload, no internet connection required., no data retention concerns. Supports all audio codecs your NLE handles.
EditLint AI generates a standard SRT file with word-level timestamp precision. Each caption block contains 4–8 words timed individually, not sentence-level chunks that lag half a second behind speech.
The SRT is imported and placed directly on your NLE's native caption track. Captions are editable text objects. Style them with your brand fonts, adjust timing on any individual word, or export the SRT to use in YouTube Studio.
Most captioning tools work at the sentence level. They show an entire line of text at the moment a sentence begins, then hold it for three or four seconds. That feels natural in documents but looks terrible on video: viewers read ahead, then wait, then lose the thread.
EditLint AI generates timestamps at the word level. Each word in your caption block has its own in-point and out-point. Playback feels like the words are being spoken directly onto the screen, because they are, down to the frame.
Entire sentence appears at once, stays for 3–5 s. Viewers read it, then wait. Pacing feels sluggish.
Each word appears exactly when spoken. Captions feel dynamic, keep attention and match the speaker's energy.
Whisper AI identifies the spoken language automatically. No need to set it before transcription.. Switch languages mid-session if you're editing multilingual content.
Language auto-detection is powered by Whisper large-v3. Detection accuracy above 95% for languages in the top 40 by training data volume.
Cloud transcription services require you to upload your footage, or at minimum your audio, to a third-party server. That's a problem for NDAs, client confidentiality, unreleased content and anyone whose work is commercially sensitive.
EditLint AI runs Whisper entirely locally. The model weights are downloaded once when you install the plugin; after that, transcription happens on your CPU or GPU with no network activity. Your footage, your audio and your transcripts all stay on your drive..
Stop typing captions by hand or paying a transcription service. EditLint AI does it locally, accurately and in a fraction of the time, in 90+ languages.
