Create burned-in captions, subtitle files, and creator-ready vertical clips with on-device transcription. Cliplit turns short videos into captioned, share-ready clips right on your iPhone. Import a video from Photos or Files, let Apple's on-device Speech framework transcribe the audio, fix any words, choose a caption style, preview the timing, then export a burned-in MP4 to Photos. Your video and audio stay on your device. There is no account, no cloud queue, and no advertising SDK. Version 2.1 adds an Export Readiness advisor in Preview plus an offline Creator Playbook in Settings. Before you render, Cliplit checks the clip for subtitle timing, reading speed, caption contrast, platform safe zones, and deliverable completeness. The new playbook adds an 18,750-entry local reference pack of caption hooks, readability rules, safe-zone notes, subtitle delivery checklists, and accessibility reminders for creators working without a network connection. Cliplit is built for creators, small businesses, teachers, coaches, and anyone who wants fast readable captions without uploading private clips to another service. Features: - On-device speech transcription that stays in sync, even on longer clips - Import from Photos, Files, iCloud Drive, and compatible document providers - Editable word-by-word transcript - Eight caption styles, including true left-to-right karaoke word fill and a high-contrast Accessible style - Clean two-line caption layout and crisp burned-in text - Caption cadence control: one word, phrase, or full line - Auto emoji and power-word highlights using deterministic offline rules - Caption position control with live platform safe-zone checking and Fit all platforms placement - Export Readiness advisor for timing, readability, contrast, safe zones, and deliverables - Offline Creator Playbook with 18,750 caption drills, hook rewrites, safe-zone notes, and export checklists - Accessibility-first: SDH sound cues like [music], WCAG-AA contrast labels, and Reduce Motion support - Create SRT, WebVTT, or plain-text transcript files with readable cue merging - Live caption preview synced to playback - Burned-in MP4 export to Photos - No login, no tracking, no advertising SDK Notes: - Best with clear speech and short vertical videos. - Speech recognition availability depends on the languages and on-device models supported by iOS.

## Version 2.1 Preview now includes Export Readiness, a creator checklist that catches common caption problems before the final render. Cliplit checks: - Word timing and transcript drift - Caption reading speed - Platform safe-zone placement - WCAG-AA style contrast - Subtitle and transcript deliverable readiness - Optional creator polish such as emphasis, clean captions, and saved looks Settings now includes an offline Creator Playbook backed by an 18,750-entry local reference pack. It gives creators field-ready prompts for opening hooks, caption readability, safe-zone placement, accessibility, and export packaging without needing a network connection. Each report gives a score, a plain-language grade, and short next steps. This makes Cliplit feel more like a field-ready captioning workstation: creators can spot fast captions, low contrast, or hidden lower-third placement before spending time on a final export. This release also refreshes screenshots, support copy, and App Store metadata so they match the current 2.1 interface.
