What you get

You can make your videos understandable even when viewers watch on mute.

You get captions generated from your video’s audio, so you don’t have to type every spoken line yourself. If you publish interviews, explanations, or other speech-heavy videos, you can give viewers a way to follow the conversation with the sound off. You can correct the generated text and adjust when captions appear to keep them aligned with the speech.

You can also make the captions fit your video’s look by choosing fonts, colors, subtitle styles, and text backgrounds. When you’re done, you can save a Full HD video with the captions built in, or export the text separately as TXT, SRT, or VTT for use elsewhere. With transcription in more than 60 languages, you can caption videos whose spoken language isn’t English, too.

  • Spend less time typing

    You get automatically generated captions that you can review and correct instead of writing every line from scratch.

  • Keep speech and text aligned

    You can adjust when captions appear so viewers see the right words alongside the spoken audio.

  • Match your video's look

    You can choose fonts, colors, styles, and backgrounds to make captions fit your video.

  • Reuse your captions

    You can save a captioned Full HD video or export TXT, SRT, and VTT files for use elsewhere.

  • Caption beyond English

    You can transcribe video speech in more than 60 languages.

Best for

  • You publish speech-heavy social videos
  • You need editable captions for interviews or explanations
  • You want subtitle files to reuse elsewhere

Skip it if

You don’t need it if your videos contain no speech or you already have a captioning workflow that meets your needs.

From the developer

In the time when auto playback in the feed is almost always set to mute by default, you need to find a way to get through to your audience when publishing talk-heavy videos. To beat the issue, everyone and their dog are relying on captions to draw attention to their videos, so why not you?
