Why CapsAI
Podcast clip captions that actually stop the scroll
Most podcast clips shared on social media are just a static image with an audio waveform. They look identical to every other podcast clip in the feed. Adding animated captions to your podcast clips gives viewers a reason to watch - they can read the conversation without committing to unmuting. That visual text layer is what separates clips that get shared from ones that get skipped.
- Word-by-word highlighting on podcast clips mimics the reading experience and holds attention
- Clean caption styling on podcast clips signals professional production quality to potential sponsors
- Repurposing one episode into several captioned clips creates social content from a single recording session
- Review names and overlapping speech before export so the captions match the conversation
FAQ
Podcast subtitle FAQs
Can it handle long podcast episodes?
Each upload is limited to 10 minutes of video. Split a longer recording into parts, caption each part, and join the exports in your video editor. Processing uses minutes from your free allowance or one-time pack, so check your remaining minutes first.
Does it identify different speakers?
CapsAI transcribes the speech in the recording. Review the draft carefully where speakers overlap or interrupt each other, and edit the text if you need to identify who is speaking.
Can I caption just a clip from my podcast?
Yes. Upload a short clip as an MP4 or MOV video and caption it for social media.
Does it work for audio-only podcasts?
No. The uploader accepts MP4 or MOV video files; audio-only files and audiogram generation are not part of the current workflow.
Do captions help podcast clips perform on social media?
Captions let viewers follow a clip on mute and decide whether to turn the sound on. Results vary by platform and audience.
Can I download SRT or VTT subtitle files?
The export is an MP4 with the captions burned in. Separate SRT or VTT files are not available from the editor yet; the standalone converters under /tools work on subtitle files you already have.
How accurate are the captions?
Accuracy depends on audio clarity, background noise, accents, and language selection. CapsAI creates a first draft and lets you edit captions before export.
How much can I try for free?
You can start with 3 free minutes. Free video export may include a CapsAI watermark; watermark-free video export is listed as a paid-plan benefit.
