Short description

Convert subtitle files into synchronized German language audio using OpenAI's Text-to-Speech (TTS) API.

Long description

Subtitle to Speech helps you meet accessibility requirements by adding a spoken audio track to videos that currently only have text — most notably sign language videos, where subtitles alone don't serve people who rely on audio. Simply provide a subtitle file in .srt or .sbv format, and the tool generates natural-sounding German speech using OpenAI's text-to-speech technology, precisely synced to your original subtitle timing. Several expressive voice options are available, and the tool automatically handles pacing, silent pauses, and volume consistency so the result sounds polished rather than robotic. The finished audio is exported as a standard WAV or MP3 file, ready to attach to your video. As subtitle text is sent to OpenAI's API for speech generation, we recommend using it only with content intended for public release, not confidential material.
