Use tool ↗About Captioner
Captioner is a browser-based captioning tool from Botisan AI, a Singapore software studio. You upload an MP4 or MOV of up to two hours and 2 GB, it transcribes the speech with a Whisper-based model tuned for subtitles, aligns timestamps down to word level, and opens the result in an editor where you fix wording, translate into another of its 98+ languages, or import an existing transcript to be auto-aligned. Exports cover SRT, VTT and SBV files or a video with captions burned in. The free tier gives 60 one-time minutes with watermarked video and no subtitle-file export; paid plans are billed by minutes and remove the watermark.

Pros & cons of Captioner
Captioner does one job, turning spoken video into edited subtitles, and its editor makes it straightforward to fix misheard words before export. The free tier is watermarked and one-time rather than recurring, so anyone captioning video regularly will need a paid plan within the first hour of use.
Pros
- Transcribes and time-aligns subtitles in 98+ languages
- Editor lets you correct text before exporting rather than trusting the raw transcript
- Exports both subtitle files and burned-in video
Cons
- Free tier is a one-time 60-minute allowance, not a recurring monthly amount
- Video uploads capped at 2GB and 2 hours
- No mention of speaker diarization for multi-speaker videos
Best for
- Solo creators captioning short videos for social platforms
- Anyone who needs SRT or VTT files quickly rather than manual transcription
- Non-English creators needing translated subtitles
Not for
- Teams needing enterprise transcription contracts with SLAs
- Users needing more than two-hour source videos in one upload
Watch out: The free credits are granted once at signup rather than refreshing monthly, so budget them for a single project rather than ongoing use.
