Downloading subtitles does not draw words onto the original video. We tested this with our original solid-color video and synthetic English speech. We selected the video in the live tool, chose English, generated the transcript, and downloaded the actual SRT. It contained a timed cue with the recognized sentence. The source video file kept its original hash. The subtitle download and a new captioned video are different handoffs.

We used the downloaded SRT without changing its cue text or timing, then rendered its words onto a new copy of the video locally. At the same playback position, the original frame was plain green and the rendered frame contained the sentence: Please review these words before you share the transcript. The source remained unchanged. This is a physical frame comparison from a short controlled example, not an accuracy benchmark or a test of every subtitle importer.

Use the SRT download as a handoff to a subtitle-aware editing or rendering workflow. If you need visible words inside the video picture, produce that video output and check the saved result with the recording. This tool downloads text and subtitle files; it does not export a caption-rendered MP4. Our field note includes the real subtitle, original video, rendered video and comparison frames. Original diagrams and synthetic narration are used here. We make no claim about a current social platform accepting a separate SRT upload.
