Automatic subtitles, free and offline
SceneMill listens to your video and writes the subtitles for you, on your own computer. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account and no limit on minutes. You check the words, pick a look and export.

Edit video by editing text
Interviews, vlogs, tutorials, podcasts: SceneMill writes down what is said, and you cut the video by deleting words. Select a sentence, press Delete, and it is gone from the picture and the sound. Free, and on your own computer: nothing is uploaded.

Phone and drone footage is often 4K in HEVC, and that stutters on an older laptop. SceneMill has the tools that make it play smoothly anyway, and your export still uses the full-quality originals.
