A subtitle information creating apparatus for creating a subtitle group having timing information with little deviation from the actual utterance timing. An apparatus for creating subtitle information includes an isochronous segment undecided character string that is a timing unit character string in which the number of isochronous segments cannot be uniquely determined between a pair of timing unit character strings having original timing information. If present, obtain a difference time between the timing information of the determined timing unit character string and the original timing information, and subtract the difference time from the original timing information of the pair of timing unit character strings, respectively. Then, using the timing information of the pair of timing unit character strings, the timing information of the isochronous segment undecided character string between them is determined.
