How to add captions to a screen recording

1. Record with your microphone on.

   Captions are made from your voice track (or from the tab's own sound if you didn't use a microphone).

2. Open the Text tab → Captions.

3. Choose the spoken language

   and quality: Fast (≈40 MB model) or Accurate (≈80 MB). The model downloads once and is reused.

4. Press Generate captions.

   Speech-to-text runs locally with OpenAI's Whisper model.

5. Fix any words.

   Edit lines in the list; delete lines you don't want.

6. Style them.

   Dark box, Outline or Yellow; bottom or top.

7. Export.

   Captions are burned into the video. Use Download .srt for YouTube or other players.

Timing and edits

Captions appear on the timeline's Captions row; drag a line to retime it. If you cut or speed up parts later, the SRT file follows your edits automatically.

Tips for accurate captions

• Speak clearly and avoid background music while recording.
• Choose the actual spoken language. Auto-guessing makes more mistakes.
• Product names are the most common errors; fix them once in the list.
