Korean Subtitle Generator

Korean speech, Korean subtitles

Korean speech transcribes well. The part most likely to differ from your own style is word spacing (띄어쓰기): Korean spacing follows rules that even native writers debate, so the file's spacing may not match your style guide. Names, English loanwords written in Hangul, and brand names are the other things to check. For Korean speech into English subtitles, see the Korean to English video translator.

Speech levels in translation

Korean marks politeness in every sentence ending. Formal and polite endings suit presentations, tutorials and company videos; casual speech (반말) suits friends talking or some vlogs. A translation into Korean has to pick a level even when the English gives no clue, and it can drift within a file. Review the translated subtitles and keep each speaker at one level.

Compact lines in Hangul

Hangul packs a lot of meaning into few characters, so Korean subtitles are usually shorter on screen than the English they replace, and Korean viewers are used to watching subtitled foreign content. Each cue is a single line covering one stretch of speech. Streaming style guides keep Korean lines short, so split the occasional long cue at a pause in a subtitle editor.

Using the file

Upload the SRT in YouTube Studio under Korean, or import it into Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve with a font that includes Hangul. The file is UTF-8, so Korean displays correctly in current players. If you see boxes or symbols, the font lacks Hangul; subtitles show strange characters covers the fixes.

What Korean subtitles cost

Subtitles cost 1 credit per minute with a 5-credit minimum per file, and the 100 free credits from signing in with Google cover 100 minutes. Top-ups are charged in Indian rupees at the day's exchange rate through Cashfree Payments (UPI, cards or netbanking), about ₹96 for 1,000 credits.
