SRT Translator Using AI Agents for Fast, Accurate Subtitles

Smartcat is the AI-powered enterprise language platform that helps every team move their global content faster— without adding manual work or extra headcount. Whether you’re creating marketing videos, training modules, product docs, or support materials, Smartcat blends expert-enabled AI agents with real-time collaboration and built-in quality control so teams can produce consistent, global-ready content in one connected workspace.

AI agents are workflow-aware automation models designed to take on the repetitive, multi-step work that slows teams down. Instead of simple “translate text” AI, agents follow full processes: translating subtitles, syncing timing, generating voiceovers, or recreating full documents.

Smartcat’s Media Translation Agent, for example, handles subtitle translation and dubbing end-to-end— removing the manual handoffs, vendor delays, and tool-switching that normally burns time and budget.

Unlike static LLMs, Smartcat's AI agents improve with your feedback, adapt to your brand rules, and stay consistent across teams. These agents are increasingly used across industries to boost productivity and reduce operational friction.[1]

An SRT file (SubRip Subtitle) is a simple text file that stores subtitles: a sequence number, timecodes, and caption text. It’s widely used and easy for teams to translate, edit, and publish across any platform.

Smartcat's Media Translation Agent learns from every edit you make to continuously improve quality and brand voice. When you need human review for high-visibility or specialized content, Smartcat connects you with vetted experts through the Smartcat Marketplace. They can refine your subtitles directly in the same workflow.

To create an SRT file, use a text editor or subtitle editing software. Enter the sequence number, start and end time codes (hours:minutes:seconds,milliseconds), then the subtitle text. Save with a .srt extension. To use the SRT file, match its name to the video file and place them in the same directory. Most video players will detect and display the subtitles automatically.

With Smartcat, you simply upload your SRT file, pick your target language, and our Media Translation Agent provides an initial translation. You can refine the translation within the Smartcat Editor to confirm accuracy and train the AI agent if necessary. Once finalized, you can save and download your SRT file in the new language(s).

If you're translating a video and generating subtitles with Smartcat's Media Translation Agent, you can export your translated content into any format, included SRT.

Some tools let you export subtitles from videos directly to SRT format, while others may need manual formatting to ensure proper sequence numbers, time codes, and subtitle text.

Smartcat’s Media Translation Agent combines AI translation engines, translation memories, and glossaries to deliver high-quality, consistent SRT translations. With Smartcat’s AI-human collaborative workflows, each translation benefits from AI automation and human input, improving over time.
