Correct invalid input before retrying; retry server-busy responses with bounded backoff. Returned files contain Base64 data, not persistent download URLs. Decode and inspect the output before treating conversion as successful. See the shared API guide for the complete status and timeout rules.\n\n### Browser-agent workflow\n\n1. Open the human page in a browser that supports WebMCP.\n2. Discover the interface exposed by that page; use its actual schema.\n3. Select files on the page first when the tool requires files.\n4. Call `run_current_tool` with valid input and settings.\n5. Inspect the returned result or error and the displayed output. Retrieve files from the displayed download links.\n\nCalls do not automatically copy or download results. Browser permissions still apply. Interface availability alone is not proof of successful execution.\n\n### Planning specification\n\nGenerate timed captions from audio or video; edit in playback view; enforce readable line lengths; export SRT and VTT from one canonical generator.\n\nThis describes intended requirements. Use the implementation notes, interface schema and observed output to determine current support.\n\n### Complete machine-readable capability record\n\n```json\n{\n  \"id\": \"auto-subtitles\",\n  \"category\": \"subtitle-tools\",\n  \"built\": true,\n  \"requirements\": \"Generate timed captions from audio or video; edit in playback view; enforce readable line lengths; export SRT and VTT from one canonical generator.\",\n  \"implementation\": {\n    \"fields\": [],\n    \"files\": true,\n    \"accept\": \".wav,.mp3,.m4a,.flac,.mp4,.mov,.webm\",\n    \"multiple\": false,\n    \"input\": false,\n    \"processing\": \"Server required\",\n    \"native\": true,\n    \"ai\": true,\n    \"maxFileBytes\": 20971520,\n    \"note\": \"Runs with local model weights on this website’s server.

([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/subtitle-tools/subtitle-editor.md))\n\n- [Subtitle translator](https://happytails.ai/en/subtitle-tools/subtitle-translator/): Translate subtitle text while preserving cue timing. ([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/subtitle-tools/subtitle-translator.md))\n\n- [SRT to VTT](https://happytails.ai/en/subtitle-tools/srt-to-vtt/): Convert timestamp punctuation and cue structure. ([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/subtitle-tools/srt-to-vtt.md))\n\n## How to use Auto subtitles\n\n1. Choose a file in WAV, MP3, M4A, FLAC, MP4, MOV or WEBM.\n2. Review the settings, then choose Run Auto subtitles.\n3. Review the result, then use Copy result or a download link when available.\n\n## What to expect\n\nGenerate draft SRT captions from recorded speech. Runs with local model weights on this website’s server. No external AI API is used. Review the result for errors. Local Whisper tiny. Clips up to five minutes; review words and timing.\n"
