Captions timed to every word
CAPWAV transcribes your speech and lines each word up with the moment it's said, so captions appear in step with your voice — the way viewers expect on Reels, Shorts and TikTok.
It works in 90+ languages, from English, Spanish and Hindi to Arabic and Japanese, and each script gets a font made for it. Right-to-left languages, and ones written without spaces, are laid out correctly.
358 caption styles, made to be changed
Start from a trending, minimal, cinematic or bold style. Every style is fully editable: font, colours, size, position, and how each word animates in.
The style you pick is previewed on your own video before anything is transcribed, so what you see is what you'll export.
