85% of social videos play on mute. If your content doesn't have captions, you're losing your audience before you even get started. SnapScript transforms your videos with bold, animated captions that grab attention, processed 100% on your iPhone, with no uploads, no waiting, and no privacy trade-offs. WHY SNAPSCRIPT? Your viewers are scrolling fast and watching on mute. Static captions get ignored. SnapScript creates word-by-word animated captions that pulse, pop, and move, keeping eyes locked on your content from the first second to the last. KEY FEATURES Auto Captions in Seconds SnapScript transcribes your video audio and generates synced captions automatically. No manual typing, no timecodes, just import your clip and go. Word-by-Word Animation Every word appears exactly when it's spoken. Choose from kinetic text styles that highlight each word as it plays, so viewers always know where to look. Intelligent Face Tracking SnapScript automatically detects the speaker and positions captions perfectly above them. This professional broadcast feature is now available right in your pocket. Instant Background Remover Lift yourself out of any video and drop onto a brand-new background — a solid color, a photo, or another clip. Your subject is isolated cleanly, edges and all, with no green screen needed. Processed on-device, so nothing ever leaves your phone. Fully On-Device Processing Your videos never leave your iPhone. All transcription and rendering happens locally using Apple's on-device AI — fast, private, and secure. Customize Everything Pick your font, size, color, background, alignment, and animation style. Match your brand aesthetic or try one of our ready-made caption presets built for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Export Ready for Any Platform Export in full 1080p or 4K. Square, portrait, or landscape — SnapScript outputs the right format for every platform, every time. Accessibility Built In Make your content inclusive. Clear, readable captions help viewers with hearing impairments enjoy your videos fully, and they boost watch time for everyone. WHO IS SNAPSCRIPT FOR? Content creators who want more engagement on Reels, TikToks, and Shorts. Podcasters turning clips into shareable social content. Marketers and small business owners who need professional-looking videos without a production team. Educators and coaches delivering clear, accessible video lessons. Anyone who wants their videos watched, not skipped. WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT? Auto face tracking and an instant background remover — pro features that usually need a desktop, now in your pocket. No video uploads to third-party servers. No complicated timelines or editing software. Just open the app, import your video, and get animated captions in seconds, all on your device. SnapScript is built for speed, privacy, and impact. Because your content deserves to be seen. __ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://snapscreens.com/snapscript/privacy
