In their own words
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.
