What Captioner is
Captioner is an AI tool focused on generating video subtitles, built on a strong transcription model for accuracy. It supports over 98 languages, handles videos up to three hours long, and provides word-level timestamp alignment so you spend less time fixing timing by hand. You can edit subtitles in the browser, import existing subtitles for automatic alignment, and export in formats such as SRT and VTT, or download the video with subtitles burned in. It can even transcribe speech clearly when there is background music. A 60-minute free trial is offered before paid plans.

- Anyone who needs fast, accurate subtitles
What to watch out for
Only a 60-minute free trial is offered, after which you move to a paid plan, and that pricing can change. Even with word-level alignment, long or noisy videos still need a human review pass for names, jargon, and punctuation. Because you upload video to the service, it depends on Captioner staying available, and you are sending your footage to a third party, so be careful with confidential content and keep your own copies of the originals. Name and archive exported files consistently so you can find and reuse them, and keep a backup copy of key data. When quality matters, export a small draft first to confirm the result before producing the final file.
