FAQ
- Is ReelCaption a good Maestra alternative for captions?
- Yes, for animated captions on short clips. It does not translate or dub, which Maestra does.
- Does ReelCaption translate captions?
- No. Whisper detects the spoken language and ReelCaption captions it in that language. For translation or dubbing, use Maestra.
- Is my footage uploaded?
- 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.
