switch to the Subtitles tab, select your language (English, Hindi or Hinglish), and tap Generate Subtitles - Capsai processes in seconds. - refine captions on the go
use the inline editor to correct any misheard words, split long lines at natural pauses, and ensure each caption stays under two lines. - layer in royalty‑free audio
