## What is Subtext?

Captions sell the video. Subtext gives you word-perfect, animated captions burned into your short-form clips — transcribed entirely on your iPhone, in seconds.

No upload. No queue. No monthly bill. Free forever with unlimited exports — pay once to remove the watermark.

WHY SUBTEXT
• On-device transcription with word-level timing — your footage never leaves your phone
• Choose the language spoken in your clip, and Subtext remembers it next time
• Caption in a different language from the speech — translated on your device, not in the cloud
• Bring your own .srt or .vtt subtitle file when you'd rather supply the text yourself
• Import to styled export in under a minute, even on airplane mode
• Three current caption looks: bold karaoke highlight, word-pop, and a clean line fade
• A transcript-first editor built for the 90-second workflow: tap a word to fix it, hold to emphasize
• Confidence review jumps you straight to the words worth checking
• One-tap filler-word sweep removes every "um" from your captions
• Platform safe-zone guides so captions never sit under the like button
• Save your brand style once, apply it on every future clip in a tap
• Burned-in export up to 4K, plus .srt / .vtt sidecar files

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything happens on your device. No account, no upload, no analytics on your content.

PAY ONCE
The full pipeline is free with unlimited exports — each carries a small Subtext watermark. Choosing your spoken language and importing a subtitle file are free too. A single one-time purchase removes the watermark and unlocks translated captions, style presets, filler sweep, and sidecar captions. No subscription, ever.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-07-29

Languages.

• Choose the language spoken in your clip. Subtext used to simply follow your iPhone's language, which meant the wrong captions if you filmed in another one. Now you pick, and it remembers.
• Show captions in a different language from the speech — Spanish audio with English captions, and so on. Translation runs on your device, like everything else. Part of the one-time unlock.
• Import your own .srt or .vtt subtitle file. If a language isn't supported for transcription, bring your own text and Subtext will style it and burn it in. Free.
• A short tutorial on first launch, so none of the above stays hidden.

Also fixed: switching caption language now refreshes every line instead of leaving a mix of two languages, and the language shown in the editor no longer gets cut off.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-09

No release notes.
