subs.ripHow it works

Japanese audio → English .srt

English subtitles for any Japanese video.

Drop in a video with Japanese dialogue. subs.rip creates a timed English .srt you can read, edit, or load into a player.

Download for MacOne free hour included · macOS 13+ · Apple Silicon

A real run: add a Japanese video, let subs.rip finish each recoverable step, then save the timed English .srt.

The videos nobody subtitled

Old anime, niche films, and archive footage often have no usable subtitle track. subs.rip gives you an English subtitle file to start from.

Nothing matches online

Make a timed English subtitle file directly from the video’s Japanese audio.

The setup is a project

Audio extraction, transcription, translation, and SRT timing live in one Mac app.

A long job fails

Retry keeps the extracted audio and completed transcription instead of starting again.

One window from video to subtitles

No audio-tool chain to assemble. Add one video or point subs.rip at a whole folder.

  1. Add a video

    Drop a file or choose one. No terminal, model picker, or separate FFmpeg install.

  2. Get an English .srt

    Save a timed English subtitle file you can read, edit, or load into a player.

  3. Watch a folder

    Add a folder once. New videos are picked up automatically and appear in your subtitle library.

A useful first pass, not a fansub team

subs.rip creates a timed English SRT. It won’t replace human work on wordplay, typesetting, or perfect speaker labels—but it gives you an editable file instead of a blank screen. Audio extraction happens on your Mac; audio and transcript text are sent to cloud services for transcription and translation.
