In their own words
CaptionRoom
CaptionRoom is a browser-based video editor with AI captions and a timeline editor. Its editing tools include cuts, picture-in-picture layers, text and image overlays, audio tracks, and colour effects. The free plan supports manual captions in two styles, exports up to 1080p with SRT files, and adds no watermark. Captions can be burned into video, and brand caption presets are available. Pro adds AI captions that transcribe and time words in 99+ languages, an editable transcript, karaoke-style captions, AI Clips, translation, filler-word cleanup, and generated titles, descriptions, and hashtags. Pro exports up to 4K. Free accounts can earn AI credits by watching short ads, and AI jobs use credits. Video files, projects, edits, and exports stay on the user’s device; extracted audio is sent for transcription and, the page says, is not retained afterward. Caption text for Pro translation, cleanup, and title or hashtag tools goes to CaptionRoom’s servers. The editor runs in supported browsers on Windows, Mac, and Linux without installation. Pro is $12 a month billed annually; monthly billing is $20 a month.
GetCaptions
GetCaptions automatically transcribes speech and creates, edits and exports video captions. Its transcription supports more than 100 languages with word-level timing. Users can style captions with animated templates, including karaoke, highlight, neon and pop designs, then translate finished captions into dozens of languages. A brand kit can apply a logo, colors and fonts, importing them from a website or YouTube channel. Videos can be exported with captions burned in, or subtitles can be downloaded as SRT or VTT files. MP4, MOV and WebM are listed upload formats. The free Starter plan includes 60 minutes of transcription per month, videos up to five minutes and three projects. Pro costs $15 a month and includes 500 transcription minutes monthly, videos up to 60 minutes and 50 projects. Studio costs $35 a month and adds one-click publishing to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, API access and unlimited usage subject to fair use. Uploaded audio is transcribed on GetCaptions' servers rather than sent to a third-party transcription service. Video files are retained for reopening and editing until the project or account is deleted.
