What SubtitleNEXT is

SubtitleNEXT is timed-text software for preparing and delivering subtitles, captions, audio descriptions, dubbing, and localization work. It covers offline subtitle preparation and export, live and semi-live subtitling and captioning, and online project management. Supported formats include STL/EBU, PAC, SRT, SUB, TTML, XML, TXT, and WebVTT. Its quality-control checks can identify overlapping cues, duration and reading-speed problems, line-limit issues, and typographic errors. For live work, it supports graphics output through SDI and NDI, alongside text-based output such as Teletext/OP47 and closed captions. The localization product line lists connections to Avid iNews and Octopus newsroom systems, as well as machine translation integrations from Microsoft, Google, DeepL, and LibreTranslate. For use with video editing software, it can export MOV with alpha or subtitle formats including SRT, TTML, SCC, and MCC. SubtitleNEXT is designed for Windows; its FAQ describes running it on Mac with compatibility software and on Linux through Wine. Pricing is available on request, and a free trial is offered. The demo has restrictions on saving, exporting, watermarks, and copying subtitles to other programs.
