Finish dialogue captions without hours of cleanup

Most AI subtitle tools leave you with a draft that still needs work. Captionate generates an accurate, time-aligned first pass, then helps you correct wording, reshape segments, shift timing, and translate so dialogue-heavy footage reaches your editing workflow with far less manual cleanup.

From speech to editor-ready captions

An accurate first pass. A faster cleanup. A cleaner handoff.

Captionate focuses on the speech-caption work that slows down dialogue-heavy edits, from initial recognition to the repetitive fixes before delivery.

01 Start with accuracy

Generate a stronger first pass from speech

Add video or audio, provide context when it matters, and let Captionate detect the spoken language and create editable captions with word-level timing. Better recognition and cleaner segmentation mean fewer corrections later.

Built to reduce rework

A better first pass means fewer manual fixes.

Accuracy at generation and focused cleanup tools work together to reduce the total time from source speech to captions you can use in an edit.

01Context

Fewer recognition fixes

Names, terminology, and likely recognition errors are refined using the surrounding transcript and the context you provide.

02Boundaries

Segments shaped around speech

Punctuation and language-specific boundaries turn raw transcripts into more readable caption segments from the start.

03Timing

Timing that stays with the words

Correct text and reshape caption segments while keeping word timestamps connected to the source audio.

04Languages

Built for multilingual media

Preserve mixed-language speech, translate the caption version you choose, and continue editing without rebuilding the timing.

05Direction

Translation with editorial direction

Set the tone, preferred terminology, and phrasing so each language version needs less rewriting before delivery.

Built for dialogue-heavy work

For editors who cannot clean up every line by hand.

The more people talk, the more caption cleanup grows. Captionate is designed to keep that work from taking over the edit.

Questions

What to know before your first caption job.

Do I need an account to try Captionate?

No. You can test caption generation with guest credits before signing up.

Does Captionate detect the spoken language automatically?

Yes. Caption generation detects supported languages automatically and can preserve language changes within multilingual media.

How is Captionate different from a basic subtitle generator?

Basic subtitle generators often stop at a rough transcript. Captionate combines accurate, time-aligned generation with tools for correcting wording, reshaping segments, adjusting timing, and translating captions, reducing the manual work before the captions move into your editing workflow.

Can I correct captions after they are generated?

Yes. Edit individual words, split or merge caption segments, shift timing, and keep each change in the same project.

Can I clean up an existing subtitle file?

Yes. Upload an SRT or VTT file to open it as a caption-only project, then review, edit, translate, and export it without uploading media.

Can I give instructions for a translation?

Yes. Add guidance for tone, terminology, names, and phrasing before translating a caption version.

Which caption files can I download?

Export the caption open in the editor as SRT, VTT, ASS, or TXT. You can also render styled captions directly into an MP4 video.
