Korean Subtitle Generator

• Auto-detected Korean speech recognition

  Upload and click Subtitles. The AI hears that the audio is Korean on its own, so there is no source-language menu to get wrong. If your video mixes languages, a From-language override appears after transcription so you can force Korean and re-run.

• Native Hangul rendering, no broken blocks

  Captions render Hangul syllable blocks natively, so 뷁 displays as cleanly as 가. Because one block equals a whole syllable, Korean lines carry more meaning per character than Latin text. Broadcast and Netflix conventions keep Korean lines to roughly 16 characters, and the cue editor makes splitting long lines a two-click job.

• 176 caption presets, karaoke included

  Pick from 176 named presets in the caption generator, including word-by-word karaoke styles with active-word fill that follow each spoken Korean word. Recolor or emphasize individual words, so a brand name or a punchline pops mid-sentence.

• Translate between Korean and 85 other languages

  Korean is a verified entry in the 86-language translation catalog. Turn Korean captions into English subtitles, or translate an English video's captions into Korean for viewers in Seoul. Translation is a Pro feature and rewrites the subtitle text only; your original audio stays untouched.

• Dual Korean and English subtitles

  Show the original Korean line with its translation directly underneath using bilingual subtitles. K-content channels use this for international fans, and Korean teachers use it so students can read Hangul while checking meaning.

• Cue-by-cue editing on a real timeline

  Every cue sits on the timeline with word-level timestamps. Fix spacing (띄어쓰기 is the usual transcription slip), correct names and English loanwords, retime a cue by dragging its edges, or split it where the phrase naturally breaks.

• SRT or VTT in, four formats out on paid plans

  Already have a Korean SRT or VTT from a translator? Import it and style it. On a paid plan, download finished subtitles as SRT, VTT, TXT or JSON for YouTube uploads, players and archives. Free plans can burn the captions into a 720p video instead.

• A Korean subtitle generator inside a full editor

  This is not a one-trick converter. The same project can add subtitles, trim clips, add music, animate text with 81 animations and resize for Shorts.

1. 1

   Upload your video

   Drag in MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV or any of 20 accepted formats. EchoWave runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, and the canvas sizes itself to your first clip automatically.

2. 2

   Generate the Korean subtitles

   Open the Subtitles panel and click auto subtitles. Speech-to-text detects the Korean, transcribes it, and lays word-timed cues on the timeline. Mixed-language audio? Use the From-language override after transcription and re-run.

3. 3

   Proofread and style

   Scan the cues for spacing, names and loanwords, then split any line that runs past comfortable reading length. Apply one of 176 presets, or set your own font, size, outline and position, and save the look for next time.

4. 4

   Translate, burn in, export

   Optionally translate the track into English or any of 85 other languages (a Pro feature), or stack both as dual subtitles. Export burns the captions permanently into the video, free in HD 720p with a small removable watermark badge, or up to 4K on Pro.

• K-content commentary channels

  Reaction and commentary creators covering K-pop and K-dramas caption their own Korean-language takes for international subscribers. Dual Korean and English tracks keep both audiences reading the same video.

• Korean teachers and learners

  Language teachers publish clips with Hangul on top and English underneath so students connect sound, script and meaning in one pass. Word-timed karaoke presets highlight each word as it is spoken.

• Shorts and Reels for Korean audiences

  Feeds autoplay muted, so a vertical clip without captions loses viewers in the first second. Generate Korean captions, apply a bold karaoke preset, and resize the same project to 9:16 without re-editing.

• Mukbang and daily vlogs

  Casual formats are full of quiet asides, chewing pauses and off-mic comments that viewers miss without text. Word-level timestamps keep captions locked to relaxed, uneven speech.

• Sermons, lectures and community groups

  Korean-language churches and community organizations serve second-generation audiences who follow English better than Korean. Transcribe the talk, add an English translation track, and publish one video both generations can follow.

• Brands entering the Korean market

  Take an existing English product video, auto-caption it, then translate the subtitle track into Korean instead of reshooting. Upload a brand font through the brand kit so titles match your Korean landing pages.
