A Real Subtitle File
What comes back is WEBVTT — each line of speech with the second it starts and the second it ends, ready to load wherever you're republishing the clip.
Turn a TikTok that's already live into a subtitle file you can ship with it anywhere else.
A subtitle file is not a block of text with the timings thrown away — it's lines, each with a start and an end. AllyHub builds one from whichever source the post offers, its published captions or its audio, in the language you name and broken to the line length you set, for a single clip or a run of them — no code, no TikTok API.
What comes back is WEBVTT — each line of speech with the second it starts and the second it ends, ready to load wherever you're republishing the clip.
If the post carries a caption track, AllyHub uses its timings. If it doesn't, the audio gets transcribed to build them, which works on clips of two minutes or less.
Name the language and the file comes back in it, so a clip that performed at home can go out subtitled for a market that doesn't speak the original.
An account or a list produces one subtitle file per video, named and ready to drop into an editor, instead of a manual pass per clip.
Say how long a line should run or how many characters fit on screen, and the file is broken at those points rather than at whatever the source did.
Store the run and the next upload gets the same treatment — same line breaks, same language, same naming, without writing a fresh brief.
From a live TikTok to a timed subtitle file — TikTok subtitle generation in three steps.
Give AllyHub a TikTok URL or an account, then set the language, the line length, and how you want the files named.
It reads the caption track or transcribes the audio, then returns each subtitle line with its start time, end time, the language used, and which source it came from.
Take the WEBVTT files, load them into your editor or your other channels, or keep the settings so the next batch needs no fresh brief.
Most tools hand you the words and drop the clock. A subtitle file without timings isn't one.
A wall of text tells you what was said; it doesn't tell an editor when to put it on screen. Every line here carries a start and an end, so the file loads into a timeline and lands where the words do, with no manual syncing pass afterwards.

Subtitle tools fail on TikTok mostly because the post never had a caption track to copy. AllyHub transcribes the audio and builds the timings from that, on clips of two minutes or under, so a post with no track still ends up with a usable file.

This does not pull TikTok's own subtitle file off the platform — that isn't something AllyHub does. It produces a fresh WEBVTT from the speech, which is why it works on posts that never had one, and why WEBVTT is the format you get rather than a menu of them.

The first pass works out how your subtitles should break and read. After that your AllyHub never starts from scratch again — a new batch inherits the shape you approved, so the work shifts from setting it up to checking it, and it gets faster every time.

Creators republishing across platforms, localisation teams, editors delivering to clients, and anyone who needs captions on file.
The TikTok did well, and now it's going to Reels and Shorts where the burned-in captions look wrong. Generate a subtitle file from the original and republish with text that sits properly on each platform.
A clip needs to run in three markets and you're quoting a subtitling vendor per language. Produce the timed file yourself in each one, then spend the budget on review rather than on typing.
The deliverable list says captions included and nobody built them. Turn the batch you already posted into subtitle files, attach them to the handover, and close the ticket without a second edit pass.
Someone asks for captions on the videos your brand published last quarter. Produce a timed file for each one from what was actually said, and keep them on record alongside the posts.

What to know before the first file.
It produces a timed caption file for a video — the lines, plus when each one appears and disappears. AllyHub builds that from the speech in a clip that's already posted, so it works whether or not the creator ever added captions themselves.
Yes — one video's subtitle file costs nothing on the free plan. Batches across an account, other languages, custom line-breaking rules, and stored settings sit on the paid tiers.
WEBVTT, which most editors and web players read directly. That is the format the file comes in — if your pipeline expects something else, convert it on your side once you have the timings, since the hard part was building them.
No, and it's worth being plain about that. AllyHub doesn't lift TikTok's own subtitle track off the platform; it generates a new file from the speech in the video. That's also why it still works on the clips that never had a track to begin with.
Yes — point it at an account or a list and it produces one file per video in the same run, each named so you can match it back to the post without opening it.
Most either want a video file uploaded or only work where captions already exist. AllyHub starts from the posted link, covers the clips with no track, and remembers how you like lines broken, so it builds on what it already knows instead of restarting with every batch.
