Twinsubs
Auris AI alternative for Mac: bilingual subtitles made on your own Mac
Auris AI is an online subtitle tool: you upload a video, pick the languages and add the second language to the same video, and the free tier gives 15 minutes a month. Twinsubs runs on your Mac, with the first 10 minutes of every video free and no time limit after a one-time purchase. For an occasional subtitle with no software to install, Auris AI is enough; if you process videos often and want your files to stay on your Mac, use Twinsubs.

When to choose Auris AI
- You need a subtitle once in a while and do not want to install anything. The page gives the steps, and you can start on the free tier.
- You need transcription for smaller Asian languages. The page lists transcription entries for Indonesian, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese and others.
- You are not on a Mac with Apple silicon, or not on a Mac at all. A web tool does not care.
When to choose Twinsubs
- You have many or long videos. The free tier of 15 minutes and one export a month runs out quickly; Twinsubs has no minute limit after purchase.
- You do not want a watermark or an upload. The SRT from Twinsubs has no watermark and nothing is uploaded.
- You want live translation of what your Mac is playing, which the Auris AI page does not mention.
Limits of Twinsubs, stated up front
- System requirement: macOS 26 or later, Apple silicon.
- It outputs SRT only: no subtitle burn-in, no built-in editor, no speaker separation, no ASS, and it cannot import an existing SRT and translate it.
- Machine recognition and translation make mistakes; with heavy accents, loud music or many specialist terms, check the result against the video.
- Which language pairs work depends on Apple's on-device translation; there are 12 source languages and 20 target languages.
Moving from Auris AI
If you have already exported bilingual subtitles from Auris AI, keep using them. To move to an on-device flow, drop the source video into Twinsubs: the first 10 minutes of each video are free, then it is a one-time purchase. The subtitles land next to the video as standard SRT; the import steps are in the SRT import guide.
A few notes
The paid tiers on Auris AI's pricing page sit in collapsed content, and we only read the free tier and the pay-as-you-go top-up, so the paid prices are marked not verified. The page footer shows a 2021 copyright year; whether every product page is kept in sync is something to judge from actual use.

FAQ
What are the limits of the Auris AI free tier?
The pricing page lists 15 minutes of usage a month, 1 GB of storage, 1 file export and 1 file upload a month, with a watermark, plus a 30-minute top-up at $1.8.
Does Auris AI give me a subtitle file I can use locally?
It lets you export a file, but the format is not stated on the page, so we mark it not verified. Twinsubs always outputs standard SRT, one bilingual and one target-only.
How reliable is the information on this page?
Every fact carries an official source and a verification date (2026-10-16), and anything we could not find is marked not verified. Prices and features change, so check the other product's own site before you buy; if you spot a mistake, write to twinsub@gatheon.com and we will correct it after checking.
