Subtext vs AutoCaption

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.

AutoCaption turns your video into clear, styled captions you can edit, without typing a word by hand. Pick your video, choose the caption language, and AutoCaption writes timed captions from what was said. Every word stays yours to change: fix a name, retime a line, restyle it, or move it anywhere in the frame. Made for short-form creators, podcasters, educators, coaches and anyone whose videos need to work with the sound off. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Generate timed captions from speech automatically - Edit every word in a caption timeline that stays in sync - Translate captions into 40+ languages, including mixed-language speech - Choose from 200+ caption styles, then change the font, colour, motion and position - Animate captions word by word, or keep them calm and readable - Put captions behind the speaker so the person stays in front - Export a video with captions burned in, or SRT and VTT subtitle files - Save projects and come back to edit them later CAPTIONS THAT STAY VISIBLE Captions are placed above the parts of the screen that apps cover with buttons and titles, so they are not hidden when you post. YOUR VIDEO, YOUR WORDS Your video is processed to create captions and is not used for anything else. You can delete your data at any time from Settings. AutoCaption is free to try. Subscriptions remove the watermark and unlock longer videos. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.
