Add captions to your podcast clips and audiograms

Podcast clips live or die on social by their captions, since most of the value is in the spoken words and most feed views are muted. ReelCaption transcribes your clip with word-level timing and burns in captions that track the speaker, all in your browser, so a great quote actually gets read.

1Open ReelCaption and drop in your podcast clip or audiogram (vertical for Reels and Shorts, square or wide for feed).
2It auto-transcribes the speech into word-perfect captions with per-word timing.
3Edit any names or jargon the transcription got wrong, fine-tune timing on the timeline, then style the captions to match your show.
4Position the captions where they sit clear of any waveform, headshots, or episode title, then export a burned-in MP4.
