Animated captions, highlighted on the word you are saying
The second thing Cueits makes, and the simpler one. No brief, no plan, no waiting on a model to think.
Cueits adds animated captions to your video with a highlight on the exact word being spoken, because the transcription carries a timestamp per word rather than per line. There are thirty-seven styles and about fifty-seven languages. Styling is free and instant — you can try every style, font and colour without spending anything, and a render is only charged when you export.
How it works, step by step
- 01
Upload and name the language
Tell Cueits what is being spoken. There is no brief and no planning step for captions.
- 02
Pick a style
Thirty-seven composed styles, five of them on the free plan. Adjust the font, size, colours and position from there.
- 03
Try as many as you like
Restyling repaints the preview immediately and costs nothing. Twenty styles, six fonts and a dozen colours is a free afternoon.
- 04
Export
The video keeps the shape you uploaded — a 16:9 upload comes back 16:9, not centre-cropped to vertical.
What are word-level captions?
Word-level captions carry a start and end time for every individual word, not just for each line of text. That is what lets a caption highlight the one word being spoken at any instant, rather than showing a whole line at once and changing it when the line ends.
Most transcription produces line-level timing. Cueits transcribes at word level in both of its products, which is also what makes the infographic panel's reveals land where they do.
Why does caption timing matter?
Because on a muted feed the captions are the video. Most short-form video is watched without sound at first, and the caption is what decides whether a viewer stays long enough to turn it on.
A caption that lags the audio reads as a technical fault even when the words are right. A caption that highlights the wrong word reads as a worse one.
How much does it cost to try a style?
Nothing. Trying styles, fonts, sizes, colours and positions is free and instant on every plan, including the free one, because nothing is rendered until you press export.
This is the whole design of captions mode. A credit is spent on the export, at twenty credits per minute of source video, and the free plan's hundred monthly credits cover about five minutes of caption video.
Questions
- Which languages are supported?
- About fifty-seven. Japanese, Korean and Chinese are not among them yet, and Tamil and Urdu transcribe on an older model than the rest.
- Can Cueits translate my captions?
- No. Captions are in the language that was spoken. There is no translation step.
- Can I fix a word the transcription got wrong?
- Yes. Double-click the word on the caption timeline and retype it; the corrected word keeps its original timing. Words cannot be added, removed or moved yet.
- Does the video keep its shape?
- Yes. A caption video is rendered in the shape you uploaded. Only Cued Animations ask you to choose portrait or landscape.
