How to Add Text to Video Online with Rask AI?

Upload the video online

Drag and drop the video in, or paste a YouTube or Google Drive link. MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, MP3 and WAV all work, and you can upload the video online from a laptop or a mobile device - everything runs in the browser, so there are no tools to install before you start.

Press the Translate button

Pick the language and press translate. Rask AI will auto add text to video: it separates each voice from the background mix, identifies multiple speakers, writes out the speech, and timestamps every segment. Unlike the auto generated captions a platform bolts on afterwards, this text is yours to edit before anyone sees it.

Customize and download

Open the video, read the text beside the original, edit text where the AI misheard something, drag the timing over the waveform on the timeline, and then download the video with the text on it - or save clean subtitles as a separate SRT file. The video text editor is where you customize video text and adjust anything you want to change, so the video, open in the preview beside it, reads the way you meant it.

Every line stays editable. If a name or a product term comes out wrong, edit it and the video text updates with it. You can also translate the same project into another language, so one recording gives you the text in as many languages as you publish in. To add text to a video you need three clicks and no video editing background - open the video, add text, download. That is the whole of it, and the free trial covers the full flow rather than a cut-down demo.

Why Add Text to Video with Rask AI

Adjust the final result

No AI is perfect, and we accept it. The editor puts the original and the written text side by side, so you can rewrite a phrase, pick one of the AI's translation alternatives, split a line that runs too long, or drag the timestamps until the text matches the speech exactly. Speaker names are yours to correct too, which matters the moment a second person appears on screen. Nothing is locked after export either: come back tomorrow, edit the video text again, and download a new version. Drag and drop a corrected line into place, adjust the timing by a few frames, and the text overlays land exactly where the speech does.

Keep your wording consistent

A Dictionary lets you fix how names, product terms, and industry jargon are written every single time, so the text on video says what your brand actually calls things, in your brand's own style. On team plans that becomes a shared brand glossary - consistent text across every video your team publishes, without anyone proofreading the same word twice. It is the one thing that keeps a series of clips reading as one brand rather than five different writers, and it is what most teams miss when they add text to video by hand. Two tools, the Dictionary and the review workflow, do more for a consistent style than any amount of proofreading.

Download in the format you need

Five exports from one project: the video, the video with text overlays burned into the picture, the audio track, the video with lip-sync, and the subtitles as an SRT file. Text overlays baked into the frame survive every re-upload; subtitles as a file let the viewer switch them off. Take the burned-in version where a platform strips subtitle tracks and the text has to match the picture, and the SRT where viewers should be able to switch the text off. Re-export as often as you like - the project stays in your account, so a second version costs nothing and viewers on every platform get the text.

Best Practices: Where Adding Text to Video Pays Off

Business

Text is much easier to store, search, and edit than a recording. Meetings, product demos, and onboarding clips become documents your team can skim and edit, and the add text to video tool is a cost-effective way to build video ads - one clip, one set of text, and a localized version for every market you sell in. Share the project with a colleague for review instead of mailing files back and forth. Video add text is the cheapest upgrade you can make to footage you have already paid to shoot, and you can add text in every language your customers speak from the same project.

Content Creation

Most people scroll with the sound off, so text on video decides whether they stay. Add text to video content, translate the captions, and open your videos to viewers all over the world - add text to video in every language your feed reaches - with multilingual text, one upload turns into a dozen local versions. For Instagram Reels, Shorts, and TikTok, burn the text into the clip and it survives every re-upload. Cut a long recording into clips, add video text to each of them, and a week of posts comes out of one afternoon - you easily add text to video that would otherwise sit unused. Create captions for a Reel, create a version in Spanish, and the audio does the work in both.

Educational Products

Make your education materials clearer and easier to follow. Text on the screen helps students catch a formula they would otherwise rewind for, keeps a lecture informative at 1.5x speed, and lets international students read along in a second language. Reuse the text as summaries, tasks, or key points - the words are already written down. Create a set of captions once and the same video works in a lecture hall, on a phone, and in a course platform. Students who read faster than they listen get the text; everyone else keeps the audio.

THE BEST AI video translation tool

The user interface is exceptionally intuitive, making the entire process ultra-easy for me. I've particularly appreciated Rask's proficiency in handling technical and specialized language commonly found in online courses. The translations consistently maintain accuracy and a natural tone.

Probably the best AI dubbing software on the market right now

It has an easy to use interface where both the original language and the translation can be edited. And the clone voices are quite good. In totality a top tool right now in the market. I'm the host of a local podcast that we would like to internationalize - translating it to several languages and sending it out again using the original voices, now cloned and speaking English.

Great AI software for delivering content worldwide

The most helpful feature is to edit the translated transcript and being able to redub the video. The voice cloning feature is very accurate - that is great for delivering the content of a known guest, that people know how their voice sounds. Now they recognize the voice and understand the message.

A great discovery that saved a lot of work!

The easy straightforward way to use it, the fact to be able to edit the translated text before rendering the final versions - we work with videos that need compliance approval for the text, so for us this is an important feature, together with the fact that the voice cloning is very well achieved. It makes it easier for us to respond quickly to client changes.

Not perfect, but almost...

You don't need any previous knowledge, you just sign up and start translating and dubbing your videos. The possibility to correct the translations helps to get exceptional results. I have done a project of about 30 videos of about 25 minutes each in 2 languages and the results were excellent.

Amazing

I used Rask to translate 18 episodes of a podcast from the original Italian. I cloned my own voice and used library voices for all the other people involved. The result is amazing. My cloned voice sounds like my own voice (with a better accent). Rask allowed me to translate an Italian podcast into English in just 3 days.

AI-based video translation service that breaks down language barriers

The most impressive feature is the AI's ability to maintain the speaker's original voice while translating the content. This is a game-changer for online educators like myself looking to reach a global audience. French being my first language, it was difficult for me to reach students from UK, US, etc. But with this tool, I have access to a bigger market.

Fantastic translation tool with some room for improvement

I'm a Canadian YouTuber who's always wanted to translate my content to the french language. I've used it on a couple of my videos to date, and have to say I'm quite impressed with the cloned voice feature. Planning on using it for 3-4 videos per month to bring my french channel back to life without a huge time commitment.

More Benefits of Adding Text to a Video Online

No matter why you record a video, adding text to a video online is a fast way to widen its reach. Work with your video, add text, and stay inside one friendly interface - one timeline, one set of tools, nothing complicated. Even the free trial covers the whole flow, and text on video is what makes a clip engaging for the people who never turn the sound on.

Boost your company status

Video overlays in different languages present you as a company with plans beyond one market. Show that you care about foreign customers: add text in their language, and the message lands the way you meant it, in the same style as the original. That is what the text to a video tool is for, and it is how a small brand starts looking like one that already sells in six countries.

Reach the viewers watching on mute

Silent viewing is the norm now, and a video with text keeps that viewer past the third second. Add text to video once and the clip stops depending on whether anyone unmutes it. Text overlays are what make a clip engaging on a feed nobody has the sound on for, and they cost you one pass instead of a reshoot. Add text to video before you post and the first three seconds work with the audio muted.

Make your content accessible

Adding captions opens your video to people who are deaf or hard of hearing, and to everyone in a noisy commute or an open office. Add a translated version and the same clip becomes accessible in markets that never saw the original, with the text matched to the audio in each one. Subtitles in a second language cost you one more pass, and you can add text to video you published months ago just as easily as to today's upload.

Reuse your content in the future

Text on video is not only about the video. Edit the written text into a script for the next project, pull your best ideas into notes, and turn a long recording into short clips and a post. Create a newsletter out of it, create captions for the clips, and one video keeps working for a month. Search engines can read that text too, which is more than they can do with a sound wave.
