English caption workflow
Turn English speech into a word-timed transcript you can edit in the browser. Style the captions for short video or long-form, review them against the recording, then export a captioned video or a.
Upload a clip with English speech and AutoCaption builds a timed transcript, with a start and end time for every word. Read along with the audio and fix what the machine heard differently from you.
Short video is where English captions do the most work, since many viewers watch with the sound off. Preview your clip in 9:16 and keep the caption line above the app buttons and away from faces.
Export a video with English captions burned into the picture when the font, color and placement you chose should travel with the file. Download SRT or VTT when a player, a client or another editor needs a separate subtitle track.
Open the exported video and watch it the way your audience will, on a phone and with the sound however they will have it.
Play the recording while reading the transcript. Correct names, brand terms, numbers and any dialect word first, because those are the errors viewers notice.
Captions are grouped into short readable lines, and you decide where each line ends.
Preview the full composition at the size your viewers will see. Keep captions clear of faces, demonstrations and platform controls, and confirm the highlight.
Watch the exported video and confirm the captions match the speech through the last line.
Preview your clip in 9:16 before posting. Check that the crop keeps your subject and any on-screen information in frame.
Place captions above the app buttons and away from faces. Use the safe-zone guides, then review the composition at the size your viewers.
Short phrases and word highlighting help viewers follow fast conversational English with the sound off.
Review specialist vocabulary, names and acronyms against the audio. Correct the terms before a learner relies on the written explanation.
Use a simple style or a solid caption box over busy footage. Preview passages where the background changes so the text stays readable.
Move captions away from the detail being explained. Confirm the text does not cover a worked example, a diagram or an important screen.
Prepare a clip that fits your plan’s duration limit and makes sense on its own.
Check interruptions, overlapping speech and guest names carefully. Listen through each transition and confirm the words and timing still.
Export a captioned clip for social posting or download SRT or VTT for another editor. Review the final file before you share it.
Listen back to introductions and references. Correct personal names and unfamiliar expressions before you style the captions.
Check pauses, interruptions and changes of speaker. Keep each phrase short enough to read while the viewer follows the person on screen.
Place the text where both speakers stay visible. Check a landscape interview again if you repurpose it into a portrait or square.
Review brand names, prices, offer details and acronyms against the audio.
Choose contrast and placement that work over your real footage. Keep product demonstrations and on-screen information visible behind the.
Use a captioned video to preserve the chosen appearance, or hand over SRT or VTT when a publishing team needs a separate subtitle track.
