Captify Burns Captions Into Video Without Uploading the Picture
A browser-based captioning tool that transcribes a clip, styles timed words, and exports an MP4 with captions burned in.
Field notes
Captify separates the video pipeline from transcription: the browser extracts a single-channel, 16 kHz audio track, sends that audio for word-timed transcription, and keeps decoding and re-encoding the picture locally. The interface includes manual in/out points, adjustable word and line counts, capitalization, outlines, and SRT or VTT input. Its stated paid tier offers longer files and a less crowded lane, while the page says it does not change the renderer or caption quality.
