Automatic video captions
Build captions from speech, then proofread, segment and style each line. Help viewers follow the video in different viewing environments.

Check captions against speech, especially names, numbers and terminology. Recognition is a starting point; the creator confirms the final wording.
Split or merge captions by meaning and review duration. Avoid overloaded screens or key lines that disappear too quickly.
