An auto subtitle generator that does the timing for you
Most subtitle tools make you drag every line into place. HeyCaptions listens to your video with a state-of-the-art speech recognition model and gives every single word its own timestamp. That makes the word-by-word highlight effects you know from TikTok, Reels and Shorts possible – and your captions are in sync from the very first second.
It works for talking-head clips, podcasts, interviews, tutorials, vlogs and ads in 99 languages. The spoken language is detected automatically, so you don’t even have to choose it.
Why your videos need captions
Most people scroll through social media with the sound off. Captions keep them watching, make your content accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, and help platforms understand what your video is about. Adding them used to take an hour of typing – now it takes one upload.
When you’re done, download the finished MP4 with the captions burned in, or grab an SRT or VTT file to upload to YouTube, Vimeo, LinkedIn or your own video player.
