FAQ
- Is ReelCaption a good Kapwing alternative for captions?
- Yes, if captions are what you need. ReelCaption does animated, styled captions in the browser. It is not a general video editor.
- Does ReelCaption upload my video to the cloud?
- No. The video stays in your browser. ReelCaption sends only the audio track, about 1 MB a minute, to Groq, which runs OpenAI’s Whisper model to transcribe it. ReelCaption does not store the audio.
- Does ReelCaption add a watermark?
- No. No export carries a ReelCaption watermark, including on the free plan.
