Questions about animated captions

What are animated captions?

Captions that show a few words at a time and highlight each word the moment it is spoken, like the captions of popular TikTok, Reels and Shorts creators. They keep viewers watching, also with the sound off.

Which video sizes can I get?

9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1:1 for the feed, 16:9 for YouTube, or the shape of your video. When the shapes differ, the picture is cropped to fill the frame or shown whole on a blurred background.

Which languages work?

All 60+ languages of our speech recognition, including English, Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Indonesian. You can also use the translated subtitles of your video.

Can I fix a word before the video is made?

Yes. Open the video in the Subtitle Studio, correct the text and come back: your edits are used, with the timing of every word kept.

How much does it cost?

Making the subtitles costs $0.12 per minute, with 40 free minutes when you verify your email. The animated video then costs $0.12 per minute of video. No subscription and no watermark; if a video fails, the money goes back to your balance.

How long can my video be?

Up to 10 minutes per video, which covers every short-form platform. It is usually ready in one to three minutes.
