Overview

Banva is an AI media localization platform for subtitling, transcription and translation. It generates subtitles for videos and transcripts for audio in more than 90 languages, lets you edit and style them, and exports to the common video, audio and subtitle formats. The site reports tens of thousands of creators and videos processed, and its listed customers include Indian media companies and an OTT platform, reflecting strong support for regional languages.

AI video subtitling

Upload a video and Banva generates subtitles automatically. You can edit the text, adjust timing and customize the look with more than 100 styles and animations and over 70 templates and presets, which is useful for social media videos where animated captions are standard. When you are done, you can export a subtitle file or a video with burned-in captions and share it.

AI audio transcription

Banva also transcribes audio files, such as interviews, podcasts and meetings, into text that you can edit, export and share.
