Accurate subtitles for the languages other tools get wrong

Most transcription tools lock everything to one AI vendor - great for English, rough for everything else. Subanana routes each language to whichever speech model performs best on it - the same routing logic covers real spoken Cantonese, exactly the kind of speech single-vendor tools mangle. The same audio also becomes meeting summaries and publish-ready docs, not just subtitles. Paste a YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook link, or upload your file - try it free before you pay for export.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Aric, co-founder of Subanana.
The first video we ever tried to subtitle was half Cantonese, half English — the way people actually talk in Hong Kong. Every tool we tried turned it into nonsense. One forced the whole video into a single language; another just gave up mid-sentence. So we built the tool we couldn't find.
Subanana turns audio and video into transcripts and subtitles in 95+ languages, and it treats mixed-language speech as normal — because for most of the world, it is. Conversations that switch languages mid-sentence come out right, and you get a real editor to polish the result instead of a wall of text.
A few things people use it for:
- Paste a YouTube link or upload a file, edit the subtitles, export SRT, VTT, TXT or DOCX
- Send the meeting recorder to a call — after the meeting you get the transcript, speakers and a summary
- Translate into bilingual subtitles, with glossaries that keep your terminology consistent
What actually makes us different is focus: the messy, code-switching, multi-speaker audio other tools treat as an edge case is the exact thing we built for.
To try it: go to subanana.com, paste a YouTube link, and give it the hardest video you have — that's the fastest way to judge us. There's a free plan; if you upgrade, code PRODUCTHUNT20 takes 20% off your first 3 months (valid until Sep 4).
I'll be around all day — ask me anything, including the awkward questions. 🍌
