Italian Subtitle Generator

• Auto-detected Italian speech

  There is no language picker to get wrong. Upload, click auto subtitles, and Whisper-class speech recognition works out that the audio is Italian on its own, the same flow as the add subtitles tool. If a mixed-language video gets misread, a From language override fixes it after transcription.

• Accents, elisions and È instead of E'

  Cues render à, è, é, ì, ò and ù exactly as Italian spelling requires, including the acute accent in perché and né. Elisions like c'è, un'ora and po' keep their apostrophes. And since Italian keyboards make capital È awkward to type, the cue editor is a quick place to correct any E' that slipped into your script.

• Word-level timestamps

  Every word carries its own timestamp, which is what makes karaoke-style active-word highlighting possible. Italian sentences run long, so split cues in a click and keep lines short; Netflix's Italian timed-text guidelines allow 42 characters per line, a sensible target for any platform. Drag cue edges on the timeline until the timing feels natural.

• 176 caption presets

  Style Italian captions with 176 named presets, including hormozi, Beast Mode and kendrick word-by-word looks with active-word fill. Adjust per-word color and emphasis, or upload your own font through the brand kit; nearly all Latin fonts cover Italian's accented vowels.

• Translation between Italian and 85 other languages

  Italian is a verified entry in EchoWave's 86-language subtitle translator. Turn an English video into Italian captions for the Italian market, or take Italian speech out to English, Spanish or German. Translation rewrites the subtitle text only; the original voice track stays as recorded.

• Dual Italian and English subtitles

  Show the original Italian line with its translation directly underneath using bilingual subtitles. Learners read both at once, and international viewers keep the original speech for tone and delivery.

• SRT, VTT, TXT and JSON files on paid plans

  On a paid plan, download the finished subtitles as SRT, VTT, TXT or JSON, or burn them permanently into the video for free at 720p. You can also import an existing SRT or VTT file to restyle it, the same way our add subtitles page works.

• An Italian subtitle generator inside a full editor

  Captions are one panel of a complete timeline editor. Delete a sentence from the Italian transcript to cut that section of video, strip silences automatically, add music, or place one of 56 transitions between clips. Everything happens in the one editor.

1. 1

   Upload your video

   Drag in an MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV or any of 20 accepted formats. The canvas sizes itself to the first file, and you can also record your screen, webcam or voice directly in EchoWave's recorder studio.

2. 2

   Run auto subtitles

   Open the captions panel and click generate. Speech recognition detects Italian automatically and returns cues with word-level timestamps. If detection guesses wrong, change the From language and run it again.

3. 3

   Correct and style the cues

   Read through the transcript and fix proper nouns, brand names and any dialect words the model fumbled. Split long cues, then pick one of 176 presets and add per-word color where you want emphasis.

4. 4

   Burn in or download the file

   Export an MP4 with the captions burned in; the free plan renders HD 720p with a small EchoWave badge and a short end card. Or skip rendering and, on a paid plan, download the SRT or VTT file for YouTube's caption uploader.

• Short-form video for Italy

  TikTok, Reels and Shorts feeds are watched muted more often than not, and Italian viewers are no exception. Karaoke captions with active-word fill hold attention even with the sound off.

• Italian creators going international

  Some 65 million people speak Italian natively, and translated subtitles multiply that reach many times over. Subtitle in English, Spanish or German, then check line breaks, since translated lines rarely match the original length.

• Italian lessons and study clips

  Italian is one of the most studied languages in the world, and dual subtitles were made for that audience. Show Italian on top and English underneath so students hear, read and translate in one pass.

• Localizing English content for Italy

  Italy dubs its film and television, but social and web video there is a subtitle culture. Translating your English captions into Italian costs far less than a dub and keeps your original voice on screen.

• Interviews and podcast clips

  Turn an Italian conversation into quotable clips with captions, or build audiograms with one of 93 music visualizer styles. Text-based editing cuts the transcript down to the quote and drops the stray allora or cioè on the way.

• Ads and product demos

  Keep captions on-brand with saved colors, logos and custom fonts from the brand kit. Templates with placeholders plus CSV bulk rendering produce localized variants of one ad without rebuilding it each time.
