AI correction makes your subtitles noticeably better
- Fixes misheard words, checked against what was heard in the audio
- Repairs words that were wrongly joined or split
- Changes nothing else: no rewriting, your words stay your words
AI correction, 22 languages and use on up to 2 Macs are in Subtitle Studio Pro, for €99 in the first year. The AI runs free on your Mac, or via your own key with an AI service: usually a few cents per video.
How it works: the AI points out words that were probably misheard and proposes a small repair. The app checks every proposal against what was heard in the audio; anything that does not fit is rejected.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an internet connection?
Not for subtitling, because that happens on your Mac. You only need internet to activate your licence, for a short check now and then, and if you choose AI in the cloud.
Which Mac do I need?
A Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) and macOS 13 or later.
On how many Macs can I use it?
Budget works on 1 Mac. Switching is easy: deactivate in the app and activate on the other Mac.
Can I try it first?
Yes. The free trial does 3 videos with the complete Pro workflow.
Is an AI key expensive?
No. You pay the AI service per use: with the small models the app uses, usually a few cents per video. Note: a ChatGPT or Claude subscription does not cover this; the key is billed separately. Want to pay nothing? Use the local AI on your Mac.
What if it is not for me?
You get 14 days money back on every licence.
Try it free on 3 of your own videos
The trial runs the complete Pro workflow. No payment details needed, just your e-mail address, and your video stays on your own Mac. What do you have to lose?
