Swahili is written in the Latin alphabet with standard spelling. A verb is written as one word that carries the person, tense and object (ninakupenda, "I love you"), so one misheard syllable changes who did what; check verbs in passages that matter. Tanzanian Swahili and formal speech are usually closest to the written standard.
Numbered subtitle blocks, each with a start time, an end time and the Swahili text spoken in between. It is plain UTF-8 text, so you can open it in any text editor, correct a name or a word and upload it again. You also get the full transcript as TXT, with and without timestamps.
Choose a translation language before paying and you get two SRT files with identical timings: the original Swahili subtitles and the translated ones. One translation is included in the price, so bilingual or translated captions for YouTube, courses and social video take no extra work.
YouTube Studio accepts SRT files directly under Subtitles. Most video editors import SRT as a caption track that you can style and burn into the picture; for TikTok, Reels or Shorts you can paste the text into the app's own caption tool. The file is yours to edit and reuse, with no watermark.
Automatic speech recognition has seen far less recorded Swahili than English or Spanish, so expect more mistakes in names, place names and specialist terms, especially in noisy recordings. Clear speech close to the microphone gives the best result. If a paid file cannot be transcribed at all, you are refunded automatically.
In YouTube Studio open the video, go to Subtitles, add Swahili as a language, choose Upload file, select "With timing" and pick the SRT file. The captions appear once YouTube has processed them.
Each subtitle block starts and ends with the speech it contains, based on the timing of the recognised words. Long silences, music and overlapping voices can shift a line slightly; you can adjust any time in a subtitle editor or a plain text editor.
Yes. Pick English (or any of 141 other languages) as the translation language before paying. You get the Swahili SRT and a English SRT with the same timings.
$1 for a file up to 60 minutes and $3 up to 10 hours, the same for every language. You see the exact price after the file is checked and before you pay, and there is no subscription.
It is supported, but less recorded Swahili exists for training speech models, so the transcript usually needs more checking than an English one. The price is the same, and a file that fails entirely is refunded automatically.
