How to add bilingual subtitles to a foreign-language video, how to import them, and how Twinsub compares with other tools.
Who it is for
- Bilingual subtitles for meetings: any meeting appFor a foreign-language meeting you cannot fully follow, use Mac live subtitles to read the translation and the original together. Works with Zoom, Teams, Webex and Google Meet, needs no host to enable it and no meeting-app plan, and runs on your Mac. A microphone source for in-person meetings comes in 1.1.
- Bilingual subtitles for video creatorsFor creators who translate or react to foreign-language video: make a bilingual SRT locally first, then import it into CapCut or Final Cut Pro to style and export. Includes copyright and proofreading reminders.
- Subtitles for online courses and lecturesHow to turn foreign-language courses, lectures and open classes into subtitles: a bilingual SRT for foreign-language video, and a punctuated single-language file for lectures in your own language. Processed entirely on your Mac, suited to internal training and study.
