Convert WMA to an SRT subtitle file

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is the audio format produced by Windows Media Player, older Windows recorders, and many Windows-era voice recorder apps. SnailText decodes the WMA audio using a one-time codec pack, transcribes the speech with the Whisper model, and writes a phrase-level SRT, all on your machine.

You get a standard .srt file ready to use in any subtitle editor or video player.

How to convert WMA to SRT

  1. Open the Transcribe files screen in SnailText.
  2. Add your WMA audio file (or a folder of them).
  3. Choose SRT as the output before you run it.
  4. Run it. The .srt file is saved next to your audio.

WMA to SRT free, without uploading the file

Online WMA-to-SRT tools upload your audio to a server. SnailText does it locally: the file stays on your machine, there is no length limit, and the free tier has no watermark. WMA uses a one-time codec pack the app downloads for you, then runs offline.

If you only want the plain transcript of a WMA rather than a subtitle file, the WMA to text page covers that. If you need VTT instead of SRT, the WMA to VTT page covers that.

WMA to SRT FAQ

How do I convert a WMA file to SRT?
Install SnailText, open Transcribe files, add your WMA, choose SRT as the output, and run it. It generates the SRT locally. WMA uses a one-time codec pack the app downloads for you, then the transcription runs offline.
Why does SnailText need a codec pack for WMA?
WMA uses a proprietary codec that requires a one-time ffmpeg download to decode. Once the codec pack is downloaded, SnailText reads WMA files offline without any further downloads.
What is the difference between WMA to SRT and WMA to text?
WMA to SRT produces a timed subtitle file (.srt) with start and end times per phrase. WMA to text produces a plain transcript with no timestamps. SnailText does both, you just pick the output before the run.
Does SnailText burn the subtitles into the video when I use WMA to SRT?
No. SnailText writes a separate SRT and VTT file and does not hardcode captions into the video. That keeps the subtitles editable and lets you attach them in any player or editor. If you want them burned in, overlay the file in a video editor afterward.
