Generate, Revise, Search, and Export Subtitles on Mac
Import local audio or video into Caption and generate timed subtitle segments. Revise the words and timeline, search a phrase to reopen its original moment, then export SRT, VTT, or a new video with the subtitles burned in.
From local media to timed subtitles
- Import the audio or video file.
- Generate subtitle segments on the timeline.
- Play each segment at its original time.
- Correct the words, line breaks, start time, and end time.
- Export the subtitle file or burned-in video.
Search the original moment
Enter a word or phrase from the subtitles. Open the matching result and return to that moment in the media for context and correction.
Prepare the delivery file
Audio clarity, overlapping speakers, background sound, language, and source quality affect generated text. Compare the final subtitles with the original media, complete the corrections, and export the required format.
Common media
Use Caption for local videos, recordings, podcasts, lessons, training material, demos, and long media kept for later search.
