Captions

Transcription

Converting a video's spoken audio into written text, the basis for captions, editing and moment-detection.

Transcription is speech-to-text: it produces a time-aligned written record of everything said. It underpins captions, transcript-based editing and AI moment-detection, since a tool has to 'read' a video before it can caption or clip it well.

Accuracy depends on audio quality, accents and background noise; clean source audio yields cleaner captions and cuts.
