Japanese is written with no spaces between words, and foreign words appear in katakana, as in normal Japanese text. Polite and plain speech (desu/masu or casual forms) is kept as spoken, not rewritten. The SRT is standard UTF-8 and displays correctly in YouTube Studio and Japanese editing software.
Your transcript comes back in Japanese (kanji, hiragana and katakana), the script Japanese is normally written in, not as a romanised approximation. The SRT file is plain UTF-8 text, so the characters display correctly in YouTube Studio, VLC, Premiere Pro and other modern players and editors.
Choose a translation language before paying and you get two versions: the original Japanese transcript and a line-by-line translation, both as TXT and as SRT with the same timings. That makes it easy to check the translation against the original, or to publish subtitles in both languages.
Yes. It is written in normal Japanese, mixing kanji, hiragana and katakana, not in romaji. If you need romaji, a converter can produce it from the text.
Japanese often leaves out the subject of a sentence, so an English translation has to supply he, she, we or they from context. Check pronouns in the translated SRT, especially in interviews and dramas.
A clear Japanese recording with one speaker at a time comes out close to word-perfect. Accuracy drops with background music or noise, people talking over each other, strong regional accents and poor phone recordings: the same things that make a recording hard for a person to follow.
Yes. Pick English (or any of 141 other languages) as the translation language before paying. You get the original Japanese transcript and the translation, both as TXT and SRT.
Leave the spoken language on auto-detect. Each part is written in the language it is spoken in, so English sentences stay in English instead of being forced into Japanese.
Yes. The text is written in Japanese (kanji, hiragana and katakana), the way Japanese is normally written, not transliterated into Latin letters.
