John,

You are the best i tried your recommendations and i am all sorted

i have managed to extract all voice to a srt file and will work on these files later this evening

in the past on another website i use i had NAS issues and the guys who helped me had a way you can pay them back for their kind help

you have helped me on a few occasions and i appreciate your time

thanks again for the support

Brian

p.s. here is the mecanism

https://ko-fi.com/

this allows us to buy the people who kindly supports us a free coffee

its not much but its nice to be nice...if you had this i would certainly buy you a coffee

(hope putting a website on does not break the rules of this websites terms of use)

I think i am maybe stuck again

i have my input files can i apply them to my full video automaticly on a timeline in

Video deluxe 2026 Premium

Hi Brian

Pleased to hear the first issue is fixed.

With respect to the Speech to Text, assuming you downloaded a text file, I do not have Speech to text available to me, then I think you need to you copy and paste its contents into a Title, as for any of the online speech to text generators, and format it from there.

cheers John

i followed instructions i sourced on internet but i could not get automatic placing of srt files

my video is an hour long i cannot do sub titles manually

the video is medical and the patient is broad scottish accent

we thought with sub titles we could branch out to a bigger audience

again thanks for quick response

Hi Brian

SRT files are for direct import when uploading video, the srt is uploaded separately, to YouTube and Vimeo. Video deluxe cannot import srt files and create the titles.

If the final video is going to be uploaded to YouTube see this article.

If not uploading to Youtube or Vimeo, to add the subtitles directly in VDL, this has to be done immediately after the audio analysis, click the Create titles shown below

More info is here.

Note: the AI speech to titles may throw some errors trying to translate a strong Scottish accent, it produced some real bloopers with a mix of English and German giving both translation errors and/or German word spelling errors.

HTH

John,

my completed video up on youtube at present

will investigate my options for sub titles

and if i complete this damn project i will let you know :-(

after trying all the recommendations i found that youtube has the subtitles up already that they create

you just need to enable them when listening to youtube...

but as we are Scottish its got a few things worded wrong

so i will manually fix all the words that its picked up wrong and when its ready i will tell the audience how to enable sub titles

its like school every day in here

love this video edit software...i have so much fun with it

Regards

Brian

Hi Brian

Thanks for the update, YT can also create a Transcript of the video, which can be copied and downloaded by the viewer.
