German captions, timed to every word

Every accent, every style

Accents and special letters come out right, in 70 caption fonts, from bold display faces to handwriting and serif fonts. A caption like “Schau bis zum Ende” looks the way it should in every style.

Every style can be changed: font, colours, size, position and how each word animates.
