Start with an excerpt
Trim the conversation in your video editor before uploading. Capgen captions the footage you provide; it does not automatically select highlights from an episode.
FOR PODCASTERS
Automatic captions for video podcast clips
Make spoken conversations easier to follow with subtitles on your video podcast excerpts. Upload a prepared clip, generate word timestamps, and export styled captions or a separate SRT file.
FOR PODCASTERS
Prepare a readable conversation clip
Check overlapping speech
Two people speaking together can make automatic transcription harder. Listen to the preview and review the text before publishing a quotation.
Choose restrained emphasis
Use readable fonts and short phrases for interviews. A highlight color can follow each spoken word without distracting from the conversation.
Keep a subtitle file
Download SRT when you need timed text for another editing workflow. SRT stores the wording and timing, rather than Capgen animation or styling.
IN THE STUDIO
From prepared excerpt to captioned podcast video
- Export a podcast video excerpt from your recording software and upload that file to Capgen.
- Generate the captions in the spoken language. Review speaker names, terminology and any overlapping dialogue.
- Style the captions and choose a canvas for the destination. Export a video for social sharing or download SRT for further editing.

Questions about podcasters
Does Capgen make podcast clips automatically?
No. Prepare your clip first, then use Capgen to transcribe and style the captions.
Can I upload an audio-only episode?
The studio upload workflow expects a video. Combine the audio with a visual in your video editor before captioning it here.
