Manual Video Captioning
Video creators and editors struggle with slow, manual, and error-prone captioning, transcription, and localization workflows that break editing tools and require hours of rework.
In their words
right now the nurses are basically re-explaining everything by hand or waiting on interpreters
Is there any realistic way to keep the original footage and get the mouth to match the translated audio?
I’m in the middle of cleaning up auto-captions for a 40-minute video right now, so the timing on this is almost suspicious.
Every captioning tool I've paid for either doesn't support the language, or supports it badly and mangles the diacritics.
you can’t manually fix the mistakes afterward... you can’t adjust the timing of the animated word-highlighting effect
some batches the auto-cuts nail it, other weeks I'm re-editing half the clips by hand
My next project is figuring out how to do real (human) closed caption on all my "how to" videos.
I don't save much time when I have to go in and fix the lines so each one has roughly the same number of words.
Getting the captions 100% perfect is where most of my time sink is. They're typically 30-90 seconds so it's 50+ captions.
The auto captions in our LMS/Zoom are pretty rough, especially when I'm using a lot of fiels specfic terms.
I'm currently doing exactly this kind of transcription & translation project.
spending hours every week just fixing broken timestamps and weird translations
I make online course content and used to lose close to a full day cutting filler out of every hour or so of recording.
So many times do I want live subtitles in multiple languages, at least two, simultaneously.

Why those fall short
- AI splits by character count only, ignores context and pauses
- auto captions not accepted; fixing captions on YouTube videos is a giant pain
- no quick +/- timing controls, no reset to zero, AI addons inherit sync errors
- auto captions mangle jargon and accents; editing takes hours
- timing analysis gets stuck or fails; no manual word-timing edits
