## What is LocalCap?

Turn spoken audio in your videos into polished, animated captions—right on your iPhone.

LocalCap keeps the captioning workflow private and simple. Import a video, generate captions on your device, correct any missed words, customize the look, preview the result, and export captions burned directly into your video.

No account. No uploads to LocalCap servers.

CAPTIONS YOU CAN FIX

Automatic transcription gives you a fast starting point. Review the result, correct words, adjust timing, regenerate captions when needed, and add text where speech recognition missed a section.

Speech-to-text accuracy can vary with music, singing, accents, background noise, and recording quality.

MAKE THE STYLE YOURS

Choose from animated caption templates, then customize fonts, colors, placement, emphasis, and other visual details. Preview captions full screen before exporting.

Portrait-video safe-area guides help keep captions clear of controls used by popular social platforms.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Caption processing and editing happen on your iPhone. LocalCap does not require an account and does not upload your videos or audio to our servers.

Some languages may require Apple to download a speech-recognition model before on-device captioning is available. User-directed exports can be saved to Photos or shared through apps you choose.

TRY THE CREATIVE TOOLS FREE

Free users can generate captions, edit words and timing, add missing text, use caption styles, templates and fonts, customize colors and placement, preview full screen, and use portrait safe-area guides.

Free exports are limited to approximately 720p and include a LocalCap watermark.

UPGRADE TO LOCALCAP PRO

Both Pro options unlock the same export benefits:

- Full-resolution burned-in video exports
- No LocalCap watermark
- Purchase restoration through the same Apple Account

Choose the plan that fits you:

- Monthly Pro: $2.99 per month in the U.S.; auto-renews until canceled.
- Lifetime Pro — Best Value: $59.99 one time in the U.S.; no recurring charge for the lifetime unlock.

Prices vary by country or region and are shown in the app before purchase.

SUBSCRIPTION TERMS

Payment for Monthly Pro is charged to your Apple Account when the purchase is confirmed. The subscription automatically renews each month unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel the subscription in your App Store account settings. Deleting LocalCap does not cancel an active subscription.

### 5/5 — GREAT APP!!!

*2026-08-06*

I’ve been really impressed with this app. The simplicity is what makes it stand out. everything is easy to understand, clean, and quick to use without feeling overwhelming. It does exactly what it’s supposed to, and the overall experience is smooth. The only thing I’d love to see is a few more templates to give users even more creative options. Other than that, it’s an amazing app and definitely one I’d recommend.
