AI captions in seconds for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Transcribe + style + translate every short clip on your phone, then burn captions straight in — no cloud wait. Free plan: 30 AI credits per month. No card. ====== WHAT IT DOES ====== • AUTO TRANSCRIBE — Whisper-grade accuracy in 30+ languages, including Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Khmer. • KARAOKE BOUNCE — TikTok-style word-by-word highlight that pops on the active syllable. Past words solid, future words faded — exactly the look that converts on short-form. • TRANSLATE TO 33+ LANGUAGES — Re-export the same clip in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Russian, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Khmer, Turkish, and more. One source clip → every market. • AI POLISH — Fix typos, tighten sloppy phrasing, fix grammar. One tap. Polished captions look pro out of the box. • AI DUB (Pro) — voice-clone-style narration in the new language. Record once in Thai, ship in English / Spanish / Vietnamese without re-filming. • PIXEL-EXACT EXPORT — what you preview is what you publish, right down to font weight, outline thickness, and pill geometry. No more "the export looks different" surprise. • ON-DEVICE BURN-IN — exports run on the iPhone's HW H.264 / HEVC encoder. 5–10× faster than the typical cloud-render, zero upload wait, HDR + 60fps preserved. • MULTI-FONT — Kanit, Sarabun, Noto Sans (Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Khmer, Thai). No tofu boxes, no missing glyphs. • BATCH-FRIENDLY — pick the next clip, transcribe, export. The whole loop fits inside a coffee break. ====== WHO IT'S FOR ====== Short-form creators on TikTok, Reels, Shorts, Lemon8. Marketing teams localising content for SEA + LATAM + EU. Podcasters cutting clips for social. Students captioning lecture recordings. Anyone tired of $5 / minute online subtitle services. ====== WHY IT'S DIFFERENT ====== Pure mobile-first. The whole transcribe → style → export loop happens on your iPhone — no chrome web app, no upload wait, no Pro paywall on basic features. Captions look identical on the editor preview vs the exported MP4 because they're rendered by the same pipeline. Privacy first: your video stays on your phone for transcription. We only upload when you tap Export. ====== PRICING ====== Free — 30 AI credits / month. Enough for ~3 short clips. Starter — 1 hour transcription + AI Polish + Translate. Pro — 4 hours + AI Dub + no watermark + HDR export. Business — 12 hours + team seats + priority support.
