What you get

You get captions you can time, style, and export alongside your recordings.

You can turn video or audio into editable text in about 100 languages, translate your content, and keep transcription private on your Mac. Whether you’re preparing an interview, podcast, or lecture, you get captions you can check against the recording rather than a transcript alone.

You can correct wording, split or combine captions, and adjust when each line appears on a visual timeline. Batch changes and filler-word removal reduce repetitive cleanup, while speaker identification helps you follow conversations. You can also style your captions and preview them in landscape, square-ish 4:3, or vertical layouts before exporting subtitle files, transcripts, or videos with captions permanently visible.

With Apple Intelligence, you can ask questions about your recording and turn it into chapters, title ideas, descriptions, hashtags, and social posts. That gives you material for publishing as well as the finished captions.

  • Match captions to speech

    You can move, split, merge, and retime captions while checking where they appear in your recording.

  • Reduce repetitive corrections

    You can update multiple captions together and remove filler words in one pass.

  • Choose your finished output

    You can export a transcript, subtitle file, or video with captions burned in.

  • Keep transcription private

  • Reuse what you recorded

    You can use Apple Intelligence to generate chapters, titles, descriptions, and social posts from your content.

Best for

  • You publish videos that need carefully timed captions
  • You turn interviews or podcasts into transcripts
