Familingo turns your everyday videos into subtitled videos anyone can understand — in their own language. Record a moment or pick a video from your phone, choose a language, and Familingo automatically listens, writes the subtitles, and translates them. It then burns the captions right into the video so you can share it anywhere — WhatsApp, Messages, or save it straight to your photos. Made for bilingual and immigrant families. Send Grandpa a video he can finally read. Share your kids' first words with relatives abroad. Keep everyone in the loop, no matter which language they speak. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Record in the app or import any video from your library • Automatic speech-to-text in 20+ languages — no typing required • Translate subtitles into 60+ languages • Full support for right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu) • Fix and fine-tune every caption in a simple built-in editor • Adjust timing, split or merge lines, and re-translate with one tap • Style your subtitles: fonts, colors, size, position, outline, shadow, or box • Show the original and the translation together (dual subtitles) • Save to your photos or share instantly FAST AND SIMPLE No timelines to learn, no watermarks, no clutter. Pick a video, pick a language, done. Most videos are ready in a couple of minutes. BUILT WITH PRIVACY IN MIND Whenever your phone supports it, the subtitles are added to your video right on your device — the video itself never leaves your phone. Only the audio is sent to create your subtitles, and it is automatically deleted from our servers within about an hour. If a video ever needs our server to render, it is deleted just as quickly. We never sell your data, never show ads, and never use your videos to train AI. FREE TO START Subtitle up to 10 minutes of video every month for free. Need more? Familingo Pro unlocks unlimited subtitling with a monthly or annual subscription. Questions or feedback?

About

LapseSmooth

Read full description

LapseSmooth repairs one specific problem: unwanted global exposure pulsing in an existing time-lapse or video. Choose a video or run the built-in demo. LapseSmooth reads the temporal luminance curve on your device, shows where brightness changes from frame to frame, and creates a smoother copy only when the analysis is confident. Before exporting, you can: • inspect the original luminance curve • compare the measured curve before and after correction • play the original and corrected videos with synchronized audio • drag a synchronized wipe across both versions • share the corrected copy without changing the source file LapseSmooth is deliberately narrower than a general video editor. It does not promise to remove moving LED bands, rolling-shutter artifacts, localized lights that really turn on and off, intentional scene changes, or compression defects. When a persistent lighting change makes automatic correction unsafe, the app stops instead of forcing an unreliable export. Processing stays on your iPhone. LapseSmooth does not require an account, upload your video, or overwrite the original.
