Cloud-quality transcription - Subtitles-only mode

The free in-browser tool runs a small open-source model - fine for clean audio, but it can struggle with heavy accents, noise, or overlapping speakers. For broadcast-grade accuracy and SRT/VTT you can drop straight into a video editor, run your file through Subformer's cloud transcription in Subtitles-only mode.
