Question 1

How do I add captions to a TikTok video?

Accepted Answer

For permanent captions: upload your video to VideoText, generate SRT subtitles, then use Burn Subtitles to permanently embed them in the video. Upload the captioned video to TikTok. Or use TikTok's auto-caption feature after uploading (lower accuracy).

Question 2

Are TikTok auto-captions accurate?

Accepted Answer

TikTok auto-captions have reasonable accuracy for English but are less accurate for accents, technical vocabulary, and non-English content. VideoText uses Whisper large-v3 for significantly higher accuracy (98.5%+) — generate captions before uploading for better results.

Question 3

Can I get an SRT file for TikTok?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload your video to VideoText and download the SRT file. TikTok's web editor accepts SRT uploads for closed captions. Alternatively, burn the captions into the video using VideoText's Burn Subtitles tool.

Question 4

Is TikTok caption generation free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free tier includes 3 imports per month, no credit card required. Includes SRT generation and subtitle burning.

Question 5

Why are burned-in captions better for TikTok?

Accepted Answer

Burned-in captions are visible everywhere — in feed, on reposts, in embeds — without the viewer needing to toggle them on. TikTok's closed captions can be disabled. For maximum reach, burn captions into the video before uploading.
