Why subtitles matter on Facebook
Meta's own research has shown that the overwhelming majority of feed views happen with sound off. If your video doesn't have subtitles burned in or attached as an SRT, viewers scroll past in under two seconds. A clean, well-timed subtitle track is the single fastest way to lift watch time, retention and conversion on Facebook, whether you publish to a Page, run paid ads, or post in a community group.
Dokitscript was built for exactly this workflow. Paste a Facebook URL, get a timestamped subtitle file, and you're done. No timeline editing, no manual typing, no Premiere project required.
How it works
Three steps. No installs, no extensions, no editor needed.
Open Facebook on web or mobile, click on the video, then copy the URL from the address bar or use Share > Copy Link. Reels, Watch videos and replays of Live broadcasts all work.
Paste the URL above and click Generate Subtitles. Our engine pulls the audio, runs speech recognition with word-level timing, and gives you back a ready-to-use subtitle track.
Get your subtitle text in seconds. Sign up for a free account to download timestamped .srt files you can upload back into Facebook's native uploader or burn into your video.
Why Dokitscript
Built for creators, brands and marketers who need broadcast-quality subtitles in minutes, not hours.
Word-level timestamps mean your subtitles hit on beat, not half a second late. Perfect for short Reels and snappy ad reads where every frame counts.
Download the format you need. SRT for Facebook's native uploader, VTT for web players and HTML5, TXT for repurposing the script into posts or articles.
From English, Spanish and Portuguese to Arabic, Hindi, Japanese and Korean, Dokitscript handles them all and auto-detects the spoken language by default.
A 60-second Reel is typically subtitled in under 30 seconds. A 10-minute Facebook video usually completes in under two minutes. No queues, no waiting room.
Our speech engine reaches near-human accuracy on clean audio and stays remarkably robust on noisy backgrounds, accents and music, well beyond Facebook's auto-captions.
Your videos and subtitle files are never sold or used to train models. URLs are processed on the fly and uploads are deleted shortly after transcription completes.
Use cases
Anyone who wants more people to actually watch, and finish, their Facebook videos.
Add captions to every Reel and feed video to keep viewers watching with the sound off. Subtitled posts consistently see longer view duration and more saves than unsubtitled ones, and SRT files let you keep a clean editable copy for every clip.
Reach hard-of-hearing audiences, commuters watching in public, and the silent majority of Facebook viewers. Subtitles also future-proof your videos for accessibility laws, partner re-shares and translations into other markets.
Subtitle your Facebook ads for higher conversion on muted feeds, Meta itself recommends subtitles on all video creative. Use Dokitscript to caption ad variants, A/B test hooks, and translate winning ads into new languages without rebuilding from scratch.
SRT vs burned-in
Once Dokitscript gives you the subtitle file, you have two clean publishing paths.
Best for fresh uploads to your Page. In Creator Studio or the post composer, attach the .srt file generated by Dokitscript. Facebook will display the subtitles as closed captions that viewers can toggle, and the text becomes searchable and indexable.
Best for Reels, ads and reshares. Import the SRT into CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve or Descript and style your captions to match the brand. The text stays visible regardless of platform or autoplay settings.
