Captions sell the video. Subtext gives you word-perfect, animated captions burned into your short-form clips โ€” transcribed entirely on your iPhone, in seconds. No upload. No queue. No monthly bill. Free forever with unlimited exports โ€” pay once to remove the watermark. WHY SUBTEXT โ€ข On-device transcription with word-level timing โ€” your footage never leaves your phone โ€ข Choose the language spoken in your clip, and Subtext remembers it next time โ€ข Caption in a different language from the speech โ€” translated on your device, not in the cloud โ€ข Bring your own .srt or .vtt subtitle file when you'd rather supply the text yourself โ€ข Import to styled export in under a minute, even on airplane mode โ€ข Three current caption looks: bold karaoke highlight, word-pop, and a clean line fade โ€ข A transcript-first editor built for the 90-second workflow: tap a word to fix it, hold to emphasize โ€ข Confidence review jumps you straight to the words worth checking โ€ข One-tap filler-word sweep removes every "um" from your captions โ€ข Platform safe-zone guides so captions never sit under the like button โ€ข Save your brand style once, apply it on every future clip in a tap โ€ข 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 โ€” 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.
