Amara is an online platform that enables users to create, edit, and manage subtitles and captions for videos, facilitating accessibility and multilingual content.
Tools
Add Subtitle Note
Adds a note/comment to a specific subtitle language for a video. Notes are used for collaboration and providing feedback on subtitles during the editing process. Requires a valid video ID and language code. Use this tool to document issues, provide suggestions, or communicate with other subtitle editors.
Add Video Url
Tool to add a new URL to a video, allowing association with multiple video providers (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.). Use when you need to add alternative URLs for the same video content on different platforms.
Create Subtitle Language
Creates a new subtitle language track for an Amara video. This is the first step before adding or uploading subtitles - you must create the language track before you can add subtitle content. Each video can have multiple subtitle languages, but you cannot create the same language twice for the same video. Use list_subtitle_languages to check existing languages before creating a new one.
Create Subtitles
Tool to create new subtitles for a video in a specific language. Accepts subtitle data in multiple formats (SRT, VTT, DFXP, etc.) either as a string or via URL. The subtitle language must already exist for the video - use create_subtitle_language first if needed. Use when you need to add subtitle content to a video.
Create Video
Tool to add a new video to Amara. Use when you need to create a video entry from a URL. Supports URLs from YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, or direct video file URLs.
Delete Video Url
Tool to remove a video URL from a video. Use when you need to delete an unwanted or incorrect URL from a video's list of URLs. The video must have at least one other URL remaining.
