A clean and simple interface

Available in French and English.

The interface is clean by design — every element you see has a purpose. No toolbars cluttered with features you’ll never use, no preference panels burying the settings you actually need.

Open your file, edit your subtitles, export. That’s it.

At all times, the video player is always in sync with the subtitle track.
Each subtitle line can be edited separately, ideal for creating an SDH (SME) version of your subtitles.

What you see is what you get

The video player shows exactly what you’ll see in the cinema.

Rougegorge Subtitles is SDH compatible.
Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing are very easily generated.
One keyboard shortcut, and voilà, your subtitle is positioned exactly where it needs to be.
