NoaLingua Answer
Add your own subtitles to a web video with NoaLingua
Attach SRT or VTT, correct the timing and make every word clickable
In short
Yes. On a page with a usable video, choose Your subtitle file for this video, select an SRT or VTT file, inspect the preview and attach it. NoaLingua can shift the whole track earlier or later, remembers it for that page and applies translation, word lookup and saving locally.
Short answer Yes. A local SRT or VTT can become NoaLingua’s timed text for a web video and stay associated with that page.

The detail behind the NoaLingua answer
What the file supplies
A generic video may expose no captions even when you already have a legal timed subtitle file. Loading it supplies both the text and timestamps NoaLingua needs for the overlay.
It does not upload the file, search subtitle sites or create a new transcript.
What timing correction can do
A global offset fixes the common case where every line is early or late by roughly the same amount. Half-second and one-second controls make that correction quick.
Drift and individual bad timings need a real subtitle editor; NoaLingua does not pretend the global control is one.
