They are increasingly accurate, especially with clear audio and little background noise. It is still worth reviewing the output to fix names, product terms, and punctuation before you publish.
Video Glossary
AI Captions
AI captions are on-screen captions generated automatically from a video's audio using speech recognition.
What are AI captions?
AI captions are captions created automatically by software that listens to a video's audio and writes it as timed on-screen text. Instead of typing and syncing captions by hand, you let a speech recognition model do the first pass, then review it.
How AI captions work
The tool transcribes the audio, splits it into readable lines, and aligns each line with the moment it is spoken. Most tools let you style the text, choose closed or open captions, and correct any errors before you publish.
Why AI captions matter
AI captions make captioning fast enough to do on every video. That means more of your content is accessible, more of it works on mute in social feeds, and more of it is searchable. For busy teams, automation removes the main reason captions get skipped, which is time.

What is the difference between AI captions and regular captions?
The end result is the same on-screen text. The difference is how they are made: AI captions are generated automatically by speech recognition, while regular captions may be typed and synced by hand.
Can I edit AI captions after they are generated?
Yes. Most tools let you correct the text, adjust the timing, choose closed or open captions, and style the font before publishing.
