Worth knowing

  • Auto captions can mishear names and slang, so read every line before posting. Feature availability can vary by plan and region.
  • Price check: CapCut: free plan; Pro: US$19.99/month, or US$15/month on a yearly plan (US$179.99/year) (checked Oct 26, 2026).

Try it yourself

Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.

(In CapCut: Text > Auto captions, pick the spoken language, generate.) Then ask ChatGPT or Gemini: "Here is my video transcript: [paste]. Fix spelling, names and punctuation without changing the wording, and split it into caption lines of no more than 6 words." Paste the fixes back into the captions.
