iPhone
Now with languages: pick what's spoken, or caption in a different language entirely — all on your iPhone. Free to caption, one price unlocks everything. No subscription.
Captions sell the video. Subtext gives you word-perfect, animated captions burned into your short-form clips — transcribed entirely on your iPhone, in seconds.
No upload. No queue. No monthly bill. Free forever with unlimited exports — pay once to remove the watermark.
WHY SUBTEXT
• On-device transcription with word-level timing — your footage never leaves your phone
• Choose the language spoken in your clip, and Subtext remembers it next time
• Caption in a different language from the speech — translated on your device, not in the cloud
• Bring your own .srt or .vtt subtitle file when you'd rather supply the text yourself
• Import to styled export in under a minute, even on airplane mode
• Three current caption looks: bold karaoke highlight, word-pop, and a clean line fade
• A transcript-first editor built for the 90-second workflow: tap a word to fix it, hold to emphasize
• Confidence review jumps you straight to the words worth checking
• One-tap filler-word sweep removes every "um" from your captions
• Platform safe-zone guides so captions never sit under the like button
• Save your brand style once, apply it on every future clip in a tap
• Burned-in export up to 4K, plus .srt / .vtt sidecar files
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything happens on your device. No account, no upload, no analytics on your content.
PAY ONCE
The full pipeline is free with unlimited exports — each carries a small Subtext watermark. Choosing your spoken language and importing a subtitle file are free too. A single one-time purchase removes the watermark and unlocks translated captions, style presets, filler sweep, and sidecar captions. No subscription, ever.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Captions are back in your exported videos.
• Fixed: exported videos came out with no captions burned into them. The captions looked right while you were editing and then vanished from the finished file. This affected every export, and it should never have shipped — thank you to the person who wrote in with a screenshot.
• Fixed: tapping "Remove watermark" or ".srt / .vtt export" did nothing at all. Both open properly now.
• Subtitle files handle unusual clip names properly, and if a file can't be saved, Subtext tells you instead of failing quietly.
