Vietnamese Subtitle Generator
Upload a video and the AI detects the Vietnamese and times every word, with each tone mark in place. Fix any cue, style it with 176 presets, then burn the subtitles in free or download SRT, VTT, TXT or JSON on a paid plan.
Vietnamese Subtitle Generator Features
EchoWave's Vietnamese subtitle generator is used by movie recap channels, TikTok creators, English teachers and diaspora storytellers around the world.
Six tones, zero clipping
Every tone mark, timed to the word
Vietnamese is written in chữ Quốc ngữ, a Latin script carrying six tones, so a dropped mark turns mà into má and changes the sentence. A good Vietnamese subtitle generator has to get those marks right at speed. EchoWave does, and the same editor powers our caption generator, subtitle translator, bilingual subtitles, and add subtitles tools.

What you get
Subtitles that treat Vietnamese as a first-class language
Everything below ships in the free browser editor, with no plugin or install.
-
Auto captions that recognize Vietnamese by ear
Upload a video and hit generate. Whisper-class speech recognition detects that the audio is Vietnamese without you picking a language first, then writes captions with word-level timestamps. If a clip mixes languages, a From-language override is available after transcription.
-
A Vietnamese subtitle generator that respects the script
Captions render the full chữ Quốc ngữ character set, including stacked forms like ế, ộ and ữ, so tone marks never come out clipped or floating. That matters in a language where má, mà and mạ are three different words. If you upload your own fonts through the brand kit, pick ones with Vietnamese glyph coverage and the marks stay crisp.
-
176 caption presets, karaoke styles included
Style Vietnamese captions with 176 named presets, from clean broadcast looks to word-by-word karaoke fills where the active word lights up as it is spoken. Those karaoke styles land well with audiences raised on bouncing-ball lyric videos. Per-word color and emphasis editing lets you push a single word without restyling the line.
-
Translate between Vietnamese and 85 other languages
Caption Vietnamese speech and translate the text into English, Korean, Japanese or any of the 86 supported languages, or bring English subtitles into Vietnamese for the local market. Translation is a Pro feature. Translation rewrites the subtitle text only; the voice track stays as recorded. The subtitle translator covers the same flow for existing SRT files.
-
Dual Vietnamese and English subtitles
Show two languages at once, original on one line and translation on the other. Diaspora channels use it so grandparents and grandkids can follow the same upload, and English teachers in Vietnam use it for listening practice. See bilingual subtitles for the full walkthrough.
-
Cue-by-cue editing for accents and slang
Recognition copes with both Hanoi and Saigon speech, but regional vocabulary like ba versus bố can still slip through as the other region's term. Click any cue to retype it, split or merge cues, and drag timing on the timeline until each line lands with the voice.
-
Burn it in free, or get SRT, VTT, TXT, JSON on paid plans
Export the video with captions permanently burned in for TikTok and Reels, where most viewing happens with the sound off, or download the subtitle file for YouTube and Facebook uploads on a paid plan. You can also import an existing SRT or VTT file to retime or restyle it. Free exports are HD MP4 with a small removable badge.
-
Edit the video from the transcript
The transcript doubles as an editing surface: delete a sentence and the matching footage is cut, and filler sounds and long silences can be removed automatically. It is a quick way to tighten a talking-head clip before you caption it.
How it works
How to generate Vietnamese subtitles
Four steps from raw footage to captioned video, all in the browser.
-
Upload your video
Drag in MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV or any of the 20 accepted formats. Nothing to install; EchoWave runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
-
Generate the subtitles
Open the captions panel and click generate. Speech recognition detects the Vietnamese automatically, transcribes it, and lays word-timed cues onto the timeline. If detection guessed wrong on a mixed-language clip, switch the From language afterwards.
-
Proofread and style
Scan the cues for names, brands and regional words, then pick one of 176 presets or build your own look with brand fonts and colors. With Pro, add a translated second line here if you want dual-language captions.
-
Export video or subtitle file
Burn the captions in and download an MP4, free up to 720p with a small removable badge, 1080p and above on paid plans. Or skip the render and, on a paid plan, download SRT, VTT, TXT or JSON instead.
Who uses it
Made for Vietnamese-language video
-
Movie recap and review channels
Review phim channels live on pacing, and burned-in captions keep viewers following with the sound off. Generate the base track automatically, then tighten cues to match your cuts.
-
TikTok and Facebook creators in Vietnam
Vietnam's feeds are mobile-first and mostly muted, so captions decide who keeps scrolling. Karaoke presets with active-word fill give skits and street food clips extra punch.
-
Diaspora storytellers
Families in California, Texas and Sydney watch with mixed fluency. Dual Vietnamese and English subtitles let a single upload serve both the grandparents and the kids.
-
English teachers and learning channels
English learning is one of Vietnam's biggest content niches. Caption the English speech, add a Vietnamese translation line underneath with Pro, and every lesson doubles as listening practice.
-
Brands localizing into Vietnamese
Vietnamese has roughly 100 million speakers and comparatively little localized content. With Pro, translate your existing English captions into Vietnamese and republish without reshooting a frame.
-
Lyric and karaoke videos
Word-timed cues are halfway to a lyric video already. Pair the karaoke caption presets with EchoWave's 93 music visualizer styles and a still image becomes a full music upload.

Vietnamese Subtitle Generator FAQ
How do I add Vietnamese subtitles to a video?
Upload the video to EchoWave, open the captions panel and click generate. Speech recognition detects the Vietnamese audio automatically and writes word-timed cues onto the timeline. Proofread the cues, pick a style, then export the video with captions burned in or, on a paid plan, download the subtitle file.
Is there a free Vietnamese subtitle generator?
Yes. EchoWave's free plan covers the whole flow: generate, edit and style Vietnamese captions, then export HD MP4 up to 720p with a small removable watermark badge. Paid plans remove the badge and add 1080p, 4K and caption file downloads such as SRT and VTT.
How accurate are AI-generated Vietnamese subtitles?
On clean audio, Whisper-class recognition handles Vietnamese well, tone marks included. Expect to fix proper names, brand terms and some regional vocabulary, since Hanoi and Saigon speech differ in both accent and word choice. The cue editor makes those fixes a matter of clicking a line and retyping.
Does the Vietnamese subtitle generator handle all six tones and diacritics?
Yes. Captions render the complete chữ Quốc ngữ set, including stacked characters like ế, ệ, ẫ and ữ, with tone marks positioned correctly rather than clipped. If you upload a custom font through the brand kit, choose one with Vietnamese glyph coverage so every mark displays properly.
Can I translate English subtitles into Vietnamese?
Yes, in either direction. Generate captions from the original speech, then, with Pro, translate the text between Vietnamese and 85 other languages, English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese among them. Translation rewrites the subtitle text only; it does not dub or re-voice the audio.
Can I show Vietnamese and English subtitles at the same time?
Yes. Bilingual mode displays the original and the translation together, one above the other. It is popular with diaspora channels and with English-learning content aimed at Vietnamese viewers.
Can I download the Vietnamese subtitles as an SRT file?
Yes, on a paid plan. You can download SRT, VTT, TXT or JSON for uploading to YouTube, Facebook or your own player. You can also import an existing SRT or VTT file to retime or restyle it.
What video formats can I upload?
Twenty input formats are accepted, including MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, HEVC, TS and WMV. In-browser preview can be limited for a few of these, MKV and some HEVC files in particular, but the upload and the final export are always full quality.
Does it understand Northern and Southern Vietnamese accents?
Recognition is trained on a wide range of Vietnamese speech and copes with Hanoi, Saigon and Central accents. Regional word choices, ba versus bố for dad, for example, occasionally come out as the other region's term, so give the transcript a quick read before exporting.
