Question 1

How do I auto caption a video?

Accepted Answer

Upload your video to VideoText and click Generate Subtitles. Our AI automatically captions the video — detecting every word, aligning it to a timestamp, and producing an SRT or VTT file in seconds. Works for MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM, and YouTube URLs.

Question 2

Are auto captions accurate?

Accepted Answer

VideoText auto captions use OpenAI Whisper large-v3 and achieve 98.5%+ word accuracy on clear audio — significantly better than YouTube auto-captions (~80%) or TikTok built-in captions. For best results, set the spoken language before processing.

Question 3

Can I auto caption a YouTube video?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste any public YouTube URL into VideoText and get automatic captions as an SRT file. Download and upload to YouTube Studio for accurate captions on your video.

Question 4

Are auto captions free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free tier includes 3 video imports per month (no credit card required). Full features including SRT and VTT export.

Question 5

How is VideoText different from YouTube auto captions?

Accepted Answer

YouTube auto captions appear after upload, take time to generate, have lower accuracy (especially for accents and technical content), and cannot be downloaded as SRT. VideoText generates accurate SRT captions before you upload — ready to add to YouTube Studio immediately.
