TypeCut turns a video into a captioned one in a couple of taps. Pick a clip from your library, let TypeCut listen to it, and get captions timed to the words as they are spoken. Choose a style, fix anything you want to change, and export. AUTO CAPTIONS Captions are generated from the audio with word-level timing, so each word lands as it is said rather than sitting on screen as a block of text. CAPTION STYLES Five styles built for short-form video: - Kinetic Pop - one word at a time, scaled and punchy - Cinematic Flow - steady, centred, understated - Impact - heavy uppercase with a hard outline - Highlight Flow - the spoken word picked out of the line - Minimal Kinetic - small, clean, out of the way EDIT ANYTHING - Tap a caption to correct a word - Drag a caption to move it, or drag its edge to change how long it stays - Undo and redo freely - Projects save as you work, so you can put a video down and come back YOUR VIDEO STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Your video is never uploaded. Only the audio track is sent for transcription, only when you ask for captions, and it is not kept afterwards. Exports carry a small TypeCut watermark. Signing in with Apple or Google is required to generate captions and export, so your transcription allowance stays with your account.
