AI Clean Up

AI Clean Up is a separate screen from the offline Clean Up tool. It uses DeepSeek's AI over the internet to rewrite subtitle text for grammar and fluency, rather than pattern-matching known junk out of it. Timing is never changed. It needs a license and your own DeepSeek key.

Before you start

Add a DeepSeek key in Settings → AI Providers. Credits cannot pay for AI Clean Up. Open AI Clean Up from the main menu and add one subtitle file with the drop zone or the Add button.

What to do

Under What to do, choose one or more goals:

  • Fix errors — grammar, spelling, punctuation, misheard words and names.
  • Improve flow — rewrite awkward sentences so they read naturally.
  • Tighten — condense wordy or repetitive lines.

Fix errors is chosen by default. An optional Context hint — a show or franchise name, such as Breaking Bad — helps it recognise names and terminology. Batch size and Parallel batches work as on Translate.

Running it

Click Start. A progress bar shows lines and batches. Stop ends the run and keeps the batches that had finished; the rest are left unchanged. A before-and-after preview shows what changed, and Save or Save as… writes the file. Nothing is written until you save.

FAQ

Does this change my subtitle timing?
No. Only the text of each line is rewritten.
When should I use this instead of the regular Clean Up tool?
Use Clean Up first for structural junk such as SDH tags and credits. Use AI Clean Up when the wording itself needs work, most often on AI-transcribed subtitles.
Does it cost money?
AI Subtitle Studio does not charge for it. DeepSeek bills your own API key at their usage-based rates.
Why can I not start it?
You need an activated license and a DeepSeek key, and at least one goal selected.
