How it works
Add and transcribe
Add your media and choose its spoken language. Sign in to generate captions; extracted audio is sent for transcription while the video stays on your device.
Review the result
Play the clip and correct names, numbers and any misheard phrases before choosing the final appearance.
Export and check
Download the captioned video, then play the saved file at its intended viewing size. Keep the editable project for later corrections.
Try a sentence with the longest name in your clip. Handwritten shapes that work for “thank you” can become difficult in a technical phrase or a fast list.
- A notebook feel
- Compare Handwritten and Notebook for an informal, paper-inspired presentation.
- A louder mark
- Try Chalk or Graffiti when the background and subject can support a stronger texture.
- A delicate accent
- Use Signature or Gold Pen for a short phrase rather than a dense explanation.
Twelve styles genuinely draw on
Across the catalogue, Handwritten, Signature, Felt Pen, Notebook, Postcard, Draft, Scrawl, Feather, Diary, Sticky Note, Sumi-e and Blackboard use the write-on treatment. Felt Pen and Sumi-e sit outside the Handwritten category. Other handwritten-looking styles can use a different reveal.
Choose the hand for the sentence
For Devanagari, check a Kalam-based treatment and preview the actual Hindi text. Do not assume that a handwriting font chosen from an English demo supports every script.
When to use a simpler style
Use a steady sans serif for rapid instructions, dense terminology or a background full of fine detail. A handwriting treatment can introduce the piece and then give way to more readable dialogue captions.
The effect is a style choice, not a guarantee of better retention. Watch the full export at phone size, with sound off, before deciding it works.
Common questions
Does every handwritten style draw each stroke?
No. Treatments differ. Watch the live preview to distinguish a write-on reveal from a handwritten face with another animation.
Can I keep handwriting in an SRT?
No. The SRT contains text and timing. Export video to keep the handwritten look.
Can I change the colour?
The editor’s style controls let you adjust the available text and accent colours. Check contrast after changing them.
