Alternatively you could spend US$49 and buy something like Magix Movie Studio 2025 and it would take possibly less time to achieve your aim than it did to type your post.

Thanks for that suggestion of generating subtitles and burning them into
the video using the Windows payware Magix Movie Studio 2025 tools.

It looks like it comes in Platinum, Suite & Ultimate versions whose license
fee appears to be $50, $60 & $110 respectively.
The 2025 version incorporates AI tools to streamline the editing process,
including AI-generated subtitles & voiceovers & AI-powered effects.
Based on the web page, some of the AI effects are blemish smoothing, focus
sharpening, fog removal, colorizing, and speech to text and vice versa.
While all that stuff is undeniably great to have if I were a content
creator, my use model is simply to caption short videos on my phone.
For that, Subtitle Edit & ffmpeg freeware appear to work fine, but it's
wonderful that there are professional level tools to help the creators.
