Subtext vs Subtext

Most caption apps give you the same bold white text everyone else uses. Subtext gives your video a whole look: cinematic type, a real color grade, and film grain, together. A "look" in Subtext isn't a font. It's a complete aesthetic. The caption style, the color grade, and the grain are designed as one package, so a plain phone clip comes out looking like it was shot on film. Pick a look, and the whole frame changes with it. LAUNCH LOOKS • Arthouse - faded yellow film-subtitle type over a cinematic grade + grain. Old foreign-film vibes. • New Wave - stark black-and-white film mono with bold new wave caps. • Notebook - handwritten blue ballpoint pen on a tilted cream paper strip. • Standard - clean white captions with a crisp outline, when you just want simple and legible. EVERYTHING HAPPENS ON YOUR PHONE • Captions are transcribed on-device. Your audio and video never leave your phone — no upload, no account, no servers. • Works fully offline, even in airplane mode. FAST, FOCUSED EDITING • Auto-transcription drops your words in, timed to the audio. • Fix a word, nudge timing, or reposition a line. You get the light edits you actually need, nothing you don't. • Real-time preview: what you see is exactly what exports (grade, grain, and type included). EXPORT & SHARE • Export straight to your camera roll, ready for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok. • Free to try: 1080p export with a small Subtext watermark. ONE-TIME UNLOCK - NO SUBSCRIPTION • Pay once to remove the watermark and unlock 1080p + 4K export and every future look. • No subscription. No monthly fee. Yours forever. Subtext is built for creators who'd rather have one unmistakable look than fifty generic templates. So when people watch your videos they'll ask "how'd you make it look like that?"
