[@JennyHavemann]

Thank you! Very helpful. What about the youtube subtitle function?

[@TwoHeadsConsulting]

yes, that's also a great option, but only works on youtube itself. Plus, I find that the autogenerate feature rarely works, and no one seems to be able to tell me why.

[@jonihowladar1520]

[@swalehanoori1746]

[@arannyadey4082]

I have a weird request you. I'm cutting small clips of French videos for educational purposes to teach kids French. But getting the subtitles is pretty hard. So can you find a way to get AI generated subtitles by using just Android?
As for now that's all I have...
Does Auto Cap will work???
And also Is Kapwing is free, and usable from Android?

[@LovelyLadyBx]

Yes, this is what I was EXACTLY looking for after searching for hours! Thanks dear!

[@jackiee21]

Hello, have you tried it? Mine, after i added all the subs, i exported it but before it happen it ask for an upgrade which means i have to pay for it. I thought its free. Did it happen to you??

[@KnowTop]

nice

[@trisha7913]

Im going to use option 4

[@amjithm]

hey i need to watch some Turkish drama which doesn't have any English subtitles, I can download the video from youtube but how could I get English subtitles please help

[@jeffsaraiva7099]

Very helpful. Thank you. Quick question: Do any of these methods to automatically create subtitles will do them in other languages? For example, video sound is in English but subtitles are in Portuguese?

[@nathalieclergues9207]

That's called a professional translator! ;o)

[@lightleaker7045]

Thank you so much for an excellent video.
Thank you also for the irony of not having subtitles through the whole video

[@TwoHeadsConsulting]

LOL good catch!
We add subtitles to all of our videos on social media (you can check our FB, IG, LI profiles) but generally people are watching videos on RUclips WITH sound so we don't add subtitles to our videos here.

[@thecameravan8484]

You should still make subtitles or closed captioning for deaf and hard of hearing. Subtitles shouldn’t just be for profit they should also be for accessibility!

[@bkmarshall66]

@@thecameravan8484 Yes, cause we buy stuff too.

[@fairuzhn]

Do i have to sign in if i want to use the kapwing?

[@orbeuniversity]

Is there an option that allows the user to upload a video and simply create a transcript file of the video? That is, I only need the text, but I am not ready to add the subtitles to the video just yet.
Alright, to be more specific, once I have the words, I will need to translate the text into a different language, and then add the subtitles.

[@rubykhanna5275]

Thnx

[@mohamedadoow5810]

Aww! She so ❤😊

[@karengonzalez6536]

Thanks for the tips! Do you know if they work for a different language? I've made a Spanish video for class and want to add the Spanish spelling. (For the iphone app)

[@TwoHeadsConsulting]

It's just in English. But if you are looking to add subtitles/captions to a video in Spanish, we recommend you check out Subly because they offer a lot of different language options. www.getsubly.com/

[@karengonzalez6536]

@@TwoHeadsConsulting thank you!!

[@joegrace3612]

My auto subtitle is not working please what should i do?, because I don't understand the other options.

[@_moviespot_]

Is there also an app that translates spoken video directly with subtitles?

[@natasharodrigues4890]

I'm trying to add the video to FB and create subtitles, but I'm not speaking, I just want words on a video background. I can't find the place to name video or add subtitles.

[@mortenkalland]

I thought RUclips had this option to make auto captions for my videos? I hope it will come soon.

[@dailystreetchats3782]

Thanks, Beauty 😚😚😚

[@ummikaltsum208]

Hi Sivan! Do you have any software recommendations for (open captioning) bilingual subtitles? Say, first line is in English (the original language); second line, I will translate to my native language. But I need the first line and second line to be in different formats: e.g. one is white and the other is yellow, or one is italics and the other isn't. Just to differ and less confusing for the viewers. Thanks in advance!

[@TwoHeadsConsulting]

You can use Happyscribe - they have multilingual subtitles also Rev.com depending on what language you want.

[@ZackRaab]

Been testing AutoCap (because I have an Android), but it is sooo not user-friendly and has been complicated even for my very short test videos. Any chance you know of another Android app you'd recommend? :)

[@TwoHeadsConsulting]

We recommend uploading your video to your computer and then using Kapwing. Its a great tool! And stay tuned, we have a tutorial for an app coming soon!

[@chrissiesips]

Kapwin works great and is super easy to use! But the 250MB limit can be a challenge. Why does adding captions have to be so hard?

[@samsam-oh5py]

Kapwing has limited free videos correct

[@m00gan64]

i just finsihed all my subtitles and now i cant figure out how to save it without needing to pay

[@user-qd7du4ok1s]

Can u give us link🔗 please?

[@Turkez]

I love you

[@maryjoseph376]

your video is quite helpful...but how do i download the video from the website?

[@maryjoseph376]

i have used kapwing

[@tatianafrankcomedy]

After 2 hours adding and editing captions to a video in Kapwing I find out its $192 to export it in 1080p.

[@LaMenteOpen]

Do any of these work for languages other than English?

[@TwoHeadsConsulting]

Not these options but we recently found a program that does: Subly. Our most recent video has a short tutorial on how to use it!
