The text comes back in kanji and kana, with no spaces between words, the way Japanese is written. Japanese is one of the strongest languages here, so a clear recording usually needs only a few corrections. Names and specialist terms are where most of them end up.
Questions
Can I get Japanese subtitles for an anime or a video clip?
Yes. Drop the video and download SRT or VTT. If the video already has a subtitle track inside, extract it instead, which is faster and exact.
Does it add furigana or romaji?
No. You get the Japanese as it would be written, without readings or romanization.
Does it translate Japanese into English?
Yes: translate Japanese to English audio. This page keeps the text in Japanese.
