You can use the subtitling mode of our transcript editor to edit your subtitles. Navigate to the Speech to Text page of your ElevenLabs account and click any transcript to get started.
If you didn’t add subtitles when creating the transcript, you can do so by clicking the ”+” next to “Subtitles” in the panel on the right side of the screen. You can switch between transcription and subtitling mode at any time using the tabs at the top of the editor.
Tip: you can also add subtitles during the transcript creation process by enabling the ‘Include subtitles’ toggle.
Our subtitle editor uses red and green colors to give you real-time feedback on whether your subtitles respect formatting rules like characters per line, lines on screen, and cue length.
To edit these rules, click the three dots next to ‘Subtitles’ in the panel on the right side of the screen and select ‘Edit rules’
Our subtitle editor is WYSIWYG. Click anywhere and start typing to edit the text.
Tip: Use command+z to undo changes easily.
Drag the handles on the timeline to adjust the start and end timestamps for a cue. You can also type in exact timestamps in the panel on the right side of the screen.

To split a cue, click in the text where you want to split and press Enter.
