❓ What is Capite?

Capite is a completely free and open-source tool that automatically generates word-timed animated subtitles for your videos. It uses advanced AI speech recognition (faster-whisper) to accurately transcribe your video's audio, then creates beautiful, synchronized captions that move and pop as each word is spoken.

You get 27 different animated caption styles to choose from - everything from bold and modern to subtle and elegant. Export your finished video as MP4 with burned-in captions, or export standalone subtitle files (SRT, VTT, ASS) for use in other editors.

💡 Key benefit: Unlike expensive subscription services like Submagic or CapCut Pro, Capite runs entirely on your own computer. No watermarks, no limits, no monthly fees.
