Captions
Captions people can follow with the sound off.
Most people scroll on mute. Every clip Cutdown makes gets captions burned in and timed word by word, in the style you pick.

Each word shows the moment it is said.
What you get
Captions that keep pace with you.
Timed to each word
Words appear as they are said and the current one is highlighted, so someone scrolling on mute keeps up with you.
Burned into the clip
The captions are part of the video, so they show on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and LinkedIn. You also get an .srt file.
Sized for a phone
Large text, two lines at most, placed above the buttons that apps draw over the bottom of a video.

How it works
Three steps, no subtitle editor.
- 1
Upload the recording
Cutdown transcribes the whole thing and times every word to the audio while it finds your clips.
- 2
Pick a look
Choose Bold, Clean or Boxed. It applies to every clip from that upload, and you can change any one clip.
- 3
Read it through and export
Fix any word in the transcript and the caption updates. Each clip exports with captions burned in and an .srt file.
Example
One frame, three looks.
The same moment from a coaching episode in each caption style, and a guest's name fixed the first time it comes up.

Clear speech comes through well, and every word is timed to the audio. The usual misses are names, product names and niche terms, which is why you can fix a word once and Cutdown keeps it fixed.
