FAQ

How does the auto caption generator work?

It listens to your video's speech with an on-device AI model, writes out the words with timings, and shows them as captions over your video. You can tweak the text, pick a style, and export.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The transcription and captioning run entirely in your browser, so your video never leaves your device.

What can I export?

A standard .srt subtitle file that works in YouTube, Premiere, CapCut and most players, plus a captioned video with the subtitles burned in.

Why does the first caption take a moment?

The speech model downloads the first time you use the tool, then it is cached and much faster on later videos.
