Bilingual captions with every name spelled right.
They wanted English and Chinese captions that use the real script, so we built a tool that times subtitles with speech recognition and burns the exact wording into talking-head video.

- What they wanted
Auto-captions kept misspelling names and products, and fixing them by hand took longer than the edit. They already had the script and wanted captions that used it, in English and Chinese.
- How we approached it
We use speech recognition only for timing, then lay the real script and its translation onto it.
- What we delivered
- Upload a video, a script and its translation
- Pick the paragraphs to caption
- Alignment that follows the speaker
- Preview, then download the finished video
