No captions, no retention. But caption tools want $12–41 every month for something you post twice a week.
Subscription fatigue
Submagic, Kapwing, Zubtitle — every caption tool is a monthly plan, priced for daily posters.
Now: Pay for the minutes you actually caption. A 60-second Reel costs about 4–6 cents.
Manual subtitling in the editor
Typing captions line by line in CapCut or Premiere, nudging timings until midnight.
Now: AI transcribes and times every line, then renders it into the video. One upload, one download.
Captions that look pasted on
Default player subtitles: tiny, white-on-nothing, unreadable on bright footage.
Now: Three broadcast-tested styles — clean cinema, bold social, boxed — readable on any background.
Three styles, zero timeline work
Clean for interviews and courses. Bold for short-form. Box for busy footage. Preview before you render.
Pay only for what you use
Top up once. Credits never expire. No subscription. One wallet for transcription, scans and captions.
🎁 New accounts get 15 free minutes to try — credits work for scans and captions too.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add captions to a video?
Open the Caption tab in Speecho, upload your video (MP4, MOV or WebM up to 200MB / 30 minutes), pick a caption style and text size, and click render. A few minutes later you download the same video with subtitles burned into the picture — they play everywhere, no player settings needed.
What caption styles are available?
Three presets: Clean (white text with a thin outline — cinema style), Bold (large yellow text with heavy outline — short-form social style), and Box (white text on a semi-transparent dark strip — best over busy footage). Each shows a live preview before you commit.
How much does it cost?
30 credits per started video minute, transcription included — from about $0.04/min with larger packs. A typical 60-second Reel is 30 credits (~4–6 cents). Compare: caption tools charge $12–41 per month regardless of usage. No watermark at any price.
What languages does it caption?
The speech recognition supports 99 languages with auto-detect. Captions are rendered in the language spoken in the video; the transcript can additionally be translated to 18 languages and exported as SRT/VTT.
Do I also get the transcript?
Yes. Every caption job also saves a normal transcript to your history — copy it, summarize it, translate it, or export SRT/VTT/Word/PDF alongside the rendered video.
How long is the rendered video stored?
The finished MP4 is available for download for 24 hours. The transcript stays in your history for 30 days. Re-rendering the same video later just costs the same per-minute price again.
Silent autoplay shouldn't kill your video.
Burned-in captions from $0.04 per minute. No subscription, no watermark.
